Consultation. e o n l' i iN U N E W -v io £4,000 320 CASH PRIZES. NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN.



To a purchaser of 25 programmed one will be yiven gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout Few Zealand the pro motets are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultacionists (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wum under fictitious names have been mebo enough to dc their utmost toinjurethe anmotersof the Ham burg Company, thenronnot do so, as this Company is too wey established and fa vo ably known witbll espublic 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 tenth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of J uly. 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 £25 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £ls prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 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 25 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, aad 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 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a hoise 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 in any horse consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they hare 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 email prizes are informed that their names will not bo made public with out their written consent. This ninth grand drawing tor £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. iSoxicn —Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange.

Dear Fhibnds— We h;>.v-e ao.na hesita tion in addressing you in tho manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we et»te 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 absolnte 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 iu this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of onr Bay dock a New Liver Pill, We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,U89 Vials of Dr Baydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. maud is because we find in Baydock’ New Liver Pills a wonderful and extras ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric 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 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 JN ew 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, Pro vines of Burmah, 8.1.
