Consultation. gfUK Tl K G N Jfi Wb. £I,OOO 320 CASH PRIZES. TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN.



To a purchaser of 25 programmes one frill be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained, the promoters are enaoUbi to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company baa a large number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to do their utmost to ( try and injure the promoters of the Ham burg Company, they cannot do *°, a 8 this Company is too well established and fa vorably known with the public all through New Zealand. . The large number of applications that pame in too late will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant fritbes, the money will be returned. The tenth grand drawing for $i4,000 aojl close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. The tenth grand 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 tributed as follows: — 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £26 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £1.5 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £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 26 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 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.— In Boas’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. Bat 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 cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company wonld simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Com pany wonld 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 tenth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supei vision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

MedicaL 0 N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have some 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 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 Hay dock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand 1s because we find in Haydook’s 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, 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 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. Honored and Learned physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and come before yon humbly in the dust, begs for his people (caste) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and cufb 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 petitionei, although he is lowly and not woithy to be in your high presence prays that yon will graciously permit your Life gr ‘ua (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mi>. learned and wise Physician Haylock (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, Tnail Fanaibkreranciel. Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884. De 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 suffered for years with billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care to live, nut 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 ughman eats. I bad to check him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Mbs Sabah Manners, Oarmi, Illinois, U.S.



We would gqo 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 Haydock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Bach vial contains Twenty Pills.
