Consnltation. gPO KT 1 JSI tt NEWS. dE!,UOO 320 CASH PRIZES NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout New Zealand the pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company has a largo number of Horse Gonsultationists (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wu m under fictitious names have been meho enough to do their Utmost to injure the anmotersof the Ham burg Company, thepronnot do so, as this Company is too wey establish ed and fa vo ably known withll espublio all through New Zealand. . The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the ninth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. __ The ninth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of June, and the te»th Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of July. This ninth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £26 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; ICO £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will bo given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read this.—ln Boaz’a Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawiug s horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing ot the mwK prizes, which gives the enormous [Kids against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments In any horse consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and nay win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that Jieir names will not be made public with >ut their written cod sent.

Medical Q N E WORD. Dkab Fbibnds —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Baydock’s New Liver Pills/ The reason of de mand is because we find in Haydock* a New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whola system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmab, 8.1.
