I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the. inhabitants' of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENRY, CUHRAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are goins: all over the country vending SPURIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they make in New Yobk, and which bear in some instanc- J tf? ssi*fts\. es their trade mark thus —Mik |f%~ whilst on other labels of »|jsr^|tjl this.trash it is omitted,. the\y|»itJft better to deceive you, but nS,M,jJ%y the words "New York" "—TT 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 uttebly FALSE. tI 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 i friends lest they be duped into buying .villainous compounds styled " Holloway's Pills and Ointment " with any New York label thereon. Each Pot and Sox of the Genuine Medicines bears the British Government Stomp, with the words "Holloway's ;Pills and* Oiutment, 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."
