General Notices —NOTICE. APPLICATION TO REGISTER FORMS ■ Can now be obtained at THE EVENING STAR OFFICE, Albert street. OF HOLLOWAT'S PILLS AND OINTMENT. I most respectfully take leave to call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENRY, CURRAN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORK, have Agencies in various- parts, and that their Travellers &re going ailover the country vending SPURIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they make in New Yobk, and which bear in some instances tae*r trade mark thus — jam P^lk — whilst on ' other labels of a? | IJgiJi I p this trash it is omitted, the^^^^fcM better to deceive you, but lufp^ the . 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 rile frauds,' as I do not allow my Medicines even to be. gold in any part of the TJnitecLStates; 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.-"' " '■"■'■ '■'■■ ' ." . ..';'" "" .' I most earnestly appeal to that sense of British justice, which I feel sure I may venture upon asl< ing from my kind countrymen and country women io 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 Ointment, London," engraved 'thereon. On the 1ab.,1 is the address, 533, Oxfobd Stbeet, London, where alone they are manufactured. (Signed) ■ ■ I THOMAS HOLLOWAY. London, Feb. 15,1876. 2365 "STAMP ACT, 1875."
