I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENRY, CUERAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are going all over the country vending SPURIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they make in New Yoi<k, and which bear in some instances their trade mark thus — M<% B^lk — whilst on other labels offfslsJll this trash it is omitted, the%*g ftjfJs better to deceive you, but the words " New York" are retained. Much of this fictitious stuff is sold in the Auction Rooms 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 tjtteely FALBE. I most earnestly appeal to that sense of British justice, which I feel sure I may .venture upon asking from my. kind countrymen and countrywomen 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 "Holloway's Pills and Ointment, London," engraved thereon. On the label is the address, 533, Oxfobd Stbeet, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) THOMAS HOLLOWAY. London, Feb. 15,1876.! 2365 "STAMP ACT, 1875."
