Consultation. gFOR TI N G N B WS, £4,1)00 820 CASH PRIZES. TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. .



To ft purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. From the* undoubted popularity ana great succeair theae ’drawings have ob tained, flie promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. ' Although this Company has a large number of -Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to dc their utmost to try and injure tbe promoters of the Ham burg Oompany, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and -fat; vo ably known with the public.all through 'New Zealand. „ . - The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered ip the tenth drawing; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. The tenth grand drawing for 1i4,000 will close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. The tenth grand drawing will consist of 820 money prises; amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prises will be dis tributed as follows: — -1 £3OO prise; 1 £2OO prise; 1 £IOO prise; 8 £SO prises; 10 £BO prises; 16 £26 prises; 15 £2O prises; 16 £l6 prizes 160 £lO prises; 100 £6 prises. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prises. : To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. Tbe grand principle ©f these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grammes Is guaranteed a prise, and the flhfcnftaM ue in favor of the Investor draw ing a large prise, as there are 220 large prises to 100 small ones. an inves* tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prise, and the head prise or any .other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read this.-In Boas’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an Investor of 10s drawing a prise. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or cash prise in any of the hone consultations. The marbles are replaced ■ for each drawing of the nsh prises, which gives the enormous adds against investors. This Oompany would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any hone consultations; and this Com* pony would not presume to toll the public that they have a number of chances and nay win a number of prizes for a single in restment of 10s. Note.—Prise winners whether winning large or small prises are informed that ihftir names Will not be made public with >ut their written consent. This tenth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prises Ql be paid over as early as possible after .

Medical 0 N E WORD. Deab Fkiknds—We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing , bat that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it Is only oar 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 Haydoek’s New Liver Pills. The'reason of this de- - mand is because wo find in Haydock' B 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 taf the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless PUIs 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 paralyse 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 epirit 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. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and come before you humbly in the dust, begs for his people (caste) .that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and cure them with your life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not in them. This. humble petitioner, although he is lowly and not worthy to be in your high presence prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr 'ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mi>, learned and wise Physician Haylook (Haydock) of high name. Native to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petititioner places his sign, Tnau Fanaibekkbanotbl. Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Db J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. 1 have suffered for years with biUlousness. and have been so sick at times as not to care *o live, Out your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ugbman eats. I had to check him, but h laughed end said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. 1 hand yon with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Mbs Sabah Manners, Oarmi, Illinois, U. S. We would gue you if we were to go on with them as. we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydock’s New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, ~ General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills. Price Twenty-five Cents. - For sale by all Drug gists. Any sceptic can have a vial of Pills Sent him Free on receipt of his name and address, for a trial.
