Consultation. S PORTING N Jfi W o dSi,OO0 —-320 CASH PRIZES. NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING lb NOW OPEN.



To a purchaser of 25 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 large number of Horse Consnltationists (abo t thirty) to contend against, some of wu m under fictitious names have been meho enough to dc their utmost toinjurethe anmoters of the Ham burg Company, thopronnot do so, as this Company is too wey establish ed and fa vorably known wlthll espublio all through Hew 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 J une, and the tenth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of July. This ninth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prises, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tribnted as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO. prizes; 100 £5 prizes. Total amonnt, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be 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’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10a drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors dtawiug a horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing ot the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments iu any horse consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with out their written consent. This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. Nonos—Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number, and la added for exchange. Post-office orders preferred, made payable only to Boaz. Bank notes accepted.

Medical. Q N E W'O RD. Dear Friends —Wo have soaio 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 m 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 Baydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr flaydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this do. maud is because we find in Haydock’ B New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole 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 Baydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or fire 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 Burmah, 8.1.
