OF HOLLO WAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT. ! most respectfully take leave io call the attention of the inhabitants of Australasia to the fact that Messrs HENRY, CURE AN and CO., Wholesale Druggists, of NEW YORK, have Agencies in various parts, and that their 'Travellers are going all over the country vending SPURIOUS IMITATIONS of my Pills and Ointment, which they .make.in New Yobk, and which bear in some instanc- jj^^^M, es their trade maTk. ,thus —jsW,- w%C~ w.hils£ on other labels ofw|j§iE§|||||this trash it is omitted, thejk ■yi"°*||rJi? better to deceive you, but the words "New York." a ie 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 tbe 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 asking from my kind coun-' trymen 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 tbe British Government Stamp, with the words " Holloway's Pills and Ointment, London," engraved thereon. On the lab..! is the address, 533, Oxfosd Stbeet, London, where alone' they are manufactured. (Signed) THOMAS HOLLO WAY. London, Feb. 15; 1876. 2365 "STAMP ACT, 1875."
