From, the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout New Zealand the pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although, this Company has a large number of Horae Conaultationiats (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wu m under fictitious names have been mebo enough to do their utmost to injure the anmoters of the Ham burg Company, theoronnot do so, as this Company is too wey establish ed and fa vo ably known witbll espublio all through Now 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 July. This ninth grand drawing will consist of S2O 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; 16 £26 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 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 el these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, aad the Stimuli 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 ate only 6 to 1 igtioit him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read this.-In Boaz’s Grand Ham bnrg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. Bnt carefully note the mormons odds against investors drawing i horse or cash prize in any of the lone consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing ot the rash prizes, which gives the enormous Kids against investors. This Company rould simply ask investors to calculate lie odds before placing their investments n any horse consultations; and this Gom wny would not presame to tell the public ;hat they have a number of chances mid nay win a number of prizes for a single in restment of 10a. Note.—Prize winners whether winning arge or small prizes are informed that iheir names will not be made public with mi their written consent This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will «ke place under the supeivision of a ccm nittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes fill be paid over as early as possible after he drawing.

Medical. Q N E WORD. Dkak Friends —Wo have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, bat hope 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 thip 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 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 is because we find In Haydock’s j New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra j 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 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 gnobleand unworthy to be in yonr high Ipresence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr ’ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the rm>. 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 ’ Tnaix- Fanaibbrbranoibl. Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Db J. Hatdook ; Dear Sir—l received yonr Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much food done by anything as they have me. have suffered tor years with billionsness and have been so sick at times as not to pare to live, but your Pills have cured me. Ope pged 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 had to check him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new J sensation, for it really was hungry. 11 hand 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.
