General Notices NO T I C E. A PPLICATION TO REGISTER FORMS „■ Can now be obtainedat THE EVENING STAB OFFICE, Albert street. . OF HOLLOW AY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT. I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENRY, CTJBRAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORKj have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are going all over the country vending SPURIOUS IMITATION S of ti»y Pills and Ointment, which they make in New Yobk, and which bear in some instanc- BB?%^ es their trade mark thus —"jfm^^^k~" whilst on other labels of y ggß#p || this trash ii is omitted, the\y|jLy» better to de-j ceive you, but^^^^ar the words "N/jbw York" aie 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 rile frauds, as I do not allow my Medicines even to be gold in any part of the United States; they are only made by me at 583, Oxford street, London. The same people are circulating a report that my business is about to be formed into a Company, which is utteblt 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 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 Oihtmeitc\ London," engraved thereon. On the label is the address, 533, Oxfoed Stbekt, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) THOMAS HOLLOWAY. London, Feb. 15,1876. 2365 "STAMP ACT, 1875."
