This Fifth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 Monet Pbizes, amounting to £4000, subecribed by 8000 members at 10s each. Tbe various Money Peizes will bo distributed hs follows t- — 1 £300 PBIZE 15 £25 PRIZES 1 £200 PBIZS 15 £20 PEIZES \ 1 £100 PRIZE 15 £15 PRIZES 2 £50 PRIZES 160 £10 PRIZES , 10 £30 PHIZES 100 £5 PRIZES Totai Amoitxt, £4000. 320 Money Peizes. The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbize, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a i/ABOE Pbize, as there-are 220 iabge Peizes to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 egainst him drawing a prize, and tbe Head Pbize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10b. Rpad this Cakebttilt.—En Boaz's Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10a drawing a prize. Bu!, carefully note some of the Horse Consultations on tbe Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10a eueh, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives 133 nominations, bo that the odds are over 150 to 1 againet an investor drawing a horse. Now i ate the Cash Pejzes drawn at the came time, and calculate tbe odds ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against aA investor drawing a Cash Pbize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Caeh Pbizbs, which give the enormous odds against' investors. The Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultation ; and the Company would not presume to tell tbe public tbat they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. This Fifth Grand -Drawing for £40C0 will take place tinder the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

The value of thiß well known Family Mcdi cine has been largely tested in all parts of th world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine s—• 1st —In every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWOBTH SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd —Eaoh Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stbedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedinan is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors. Sold by Kemfthobnb, Pbosseb, and 00., Auckland. J. 966
