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, CUKE AN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW TOBK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their Travellers are going all over the country vending SPUEIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they make in New- York, and which bear in some instanc- sS^S ( ?t % es their trade mark thus — mM E"^% a — whilst on other labels of this trash it is omitted, the\«al&^ better to deceive you, but the words i "New York" !«™*s^ 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 utterly false. . . ' I most earnestly appeal to that sense of British justice, which I feel sure I may venture upon as ling from my kind countrymen and countrywomen id 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 PILIS AND OINTMENT, LONDON," eilgraved .thereon. On the labJ is the address, 533, Qxfobd Steeet, London, where alone they,arc manufactured. (Signed) - THOMAS HOLLOWAY. ! v London, Feb. 15,1876. • 2365
