General Notices NOTIC E. A PPLICATION TO REGISTER FOKMS Can now be obtaiurd at THE EVENING STAR 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 HENRY, CUKRAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers arc goinc all over the i country vending SPURIOUS IMITA- I TIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which I they make in New Yobk, and which bear , in some instanc- 53SB^£v es their trade ' mark thus — j&m fw§k~~ whilst on ' other labels of of|l§^lT||| this trash it is omitted, ie\^C*M£|i better to deceive you, but yfS^gtffir tu <3 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 gold in any part of the United States; they are only made by me at 633, Oxford street, London. The same people are circulating a report that my business is about to be formed into a Company, which is utterly fai.se. 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 Gonuine Medicines bears the British Government Stamp, with the words " Holloway's .Pills and Oiktment, Londox," engraved thereon. On the labJ is the address, 533, Oxfobd Stbeet, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) THOMAS HOLLO WAY. London, Feb. 15, 1876. 2365 " STAMP ACT, 1875."
