Oonsnltation. NEW c». ELEVENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IB NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratia. As the new Gaming Act will come into force on the Ist day of November, this Eleventh Grand Drawning will positively close not later than the 27th Gctober; therefore please send at once as this Eleventh Drawning will take plsce irnme diatly it is filled, which may probabaly be about the 20th October. ,and all applica tions that come in too late will be re turned. Over 900 applications came in too late for the tenth, which have been registered for this Eleventh Drawning. READ THIS. The return asked for by Mr Hart, of the number of money orders issued in favour of the “oonsultationists” shows that for the months of June and Jnly last it was as follows:—Adamastor, 4 orders, LS; Phoenix, 3 orders, L2; Boss, 166 orders, LIB 9 ; Fortune, 64 orders, L 62 ; A. Loe, I, order, L2 ; Robin Hood, 12 orders, L6O ; Jnbal Fleming, 2 orders, Li ; Adam Bede, 40 orders, .L 73 j total, 342 orders, L 392. The above was asked in Parliament, and the reply shows that Boaz was long way ■head of all the others.



The eleventh 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 prise; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 3 £6O prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 16 £25 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 16 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratia. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prise, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an 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. Head this.—ln Boas’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the I enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or cash prize in any of the hone consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the cash prizes,: which gives the enormous odds 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 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 11th grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the super vision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. Notick —Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange. Post-office orders preferred, made payable only to Bo ax. Bank notes accepted.

Medical 0 N K WORD. Dkab Friksds —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal lowing, bat 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 a New Liver Pill. We have the. pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Baydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Bay dock’ 8 New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system 4 of tbe globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills nsed 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, most 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. II the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is Invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION.
