I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENKY, CUKKAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YOKK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are goin« all over the country vending SPUMOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which j.they make in New Yobk, and which bear lin some instanc- a"l^&%. es e\ r trade mark thus —Mm §p%— whilst on other labels of y-Hgp s ffl this trash it is omitted, the%^ | fjpf better to deceive you, but^^^*or the words " New York" '^^^^^. ate retained. Much of this fictitious stuff is sold in the Auction Booms of Sydney and elsewhere, and readily finds its way into the back settlements. These are vile frauds, as I do not allow my Medicines even to be sold in any part of the United States; they are only made by me at 533, Oxford street, London. The same people are circulating a report that my business is about to be formed into a Company, which is uttbbly false. I most earnestly appeal to that sense of British justice, which I feel sure I may venture upon asking from my kind countrymen and country women in their distant homes, to assist me, as far as may lay in their power, in denouncing this shameful American Fraud, by cautioning their friends lest they be. duped into buying villainous compounds styled " Holloway's Pills and Ointment" with any New York label thereon. Each ,Pot and Box of the Genuine Medicines bears the British Government Stamp, with the words , " Hollow ay's Pills and Ointment, London/ engraved thereon. On the label is the address, 533, Oxfoed Stbeet, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) . THOMAS HOLLOWAY. London, Feb. 15,1876. 2365 "STAMP ACT, 1875."
