General Notices NOTICE. A PPLICATION TO EEGISTER FOEMS Can now be obtained at THE EVENING STAE OFFICE, Albert street. OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT. I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact' that Messrs HENEY, CUEEAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YOEK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are going all over the country vending SPUUIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they make in New Yobe, and which beat in some instances their trade mark thus — jjM §rro — whilst on other labels °f 9|Hhb3^ li*^" s trash it is omitted, the\r|^ w]ff etter t° deceive you, but s^jjr the words "New York" aTe retained. Much of this fictitious stuff is sold in the Auction Eooms 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 553, Oxford street, London. The same people are circulating a report that my business is about to be formed into a Company, which is tjttbbi/k false. I most earnestly appeal to that sense oi 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 "Holloway's Pills and Oihtment, London," engraved thereon. On the label is the address, 533, Qxfobd Stbbet, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) THOMAS HOLLOWAY.
