Fifty Pounds for a Guess.

An ordinary Wa'ker's whisky bottle hes been completely filed with Dr Fletcher's Pills, securely corked with a cork one inch into the neck and sealed and placed in the charge of the Commercial Bank, Newtown, Sydney. No living soul knows lu>w many ■pills the bottle contains. We agree to divide £50 (fifty pounds) in prizes for the nearest guesses as to the number of villa contained in the bottle as fol ows : — One present of £25 for the nearest guess. , „ „ £10 for the next nearest guess „ „ „£5 for the next nearest guess „ „ „£4 for the next nearest guess „ „ „£3 for the next nearest guesß „ „ „£2 for the next nearest guess „ „ „£'l for the ne t nearest guess Conditions : — We make no charge for the guess, but only purchasers of Dr Fletcher's Bilious and Liver Pi Is are eligible to compete and the guess must be written on one of our printed forms, one of which h wrapped around every shi ling box leaving our laborato y after this date. In case two or more persons guess the correc number, the one first to hand will get the £25 and the next guess to I and gets the £10 and so on. In case nobody guesses the correct nu ber, the nearest guess gets first present of £25.
