Consnltation. PORTING NEWS. £ 4,000 320 OASH PRIZES NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS 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 Few Zealand the pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months Although this Company has a large number of U° r se Consultationists (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wum under fictitious names have been meho enough to dc their utmost toinjuretheanmotersof the Ham burg Company, ihenronnot 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 £6O prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 15 £ls prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 prizes. Total amount, £4,000: 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 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 i2O 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 Boas's Grand Ham burg Drawing! 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 horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the «-nsb 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.



Dote. —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 supet vision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, aud the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

Medical. Q N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal 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 Ghemists 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 sue* 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 Haydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this 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 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, nnd 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 mau 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.

Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petititioner places his sign, Tnaxl Fanaibereeanoiel. 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 I never had so much good done by anything as they have me. 1 have sufterod tor years with billiousness 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 ms only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for live months, and to-day he ate a dinner such us api ughman eats. I had to check him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I band you 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’a 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 Haddock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills.
