In case two or more persons guess the correct number, the one first to hand will get the £25 and the next guess to hand gets the £lO and so on. In case nobody guesses the correct number, the nearest guess gets the first present of £25. Fletcher's pills are sold at one shilling per box everywhere by chemists, storekeepers and patent medicine vendors, or we will send a box with gutss form for 13 penny stamps of any colony. All guesses will be entered in a book and numbered as received. The bottle will be opened on January Ist, 1892, and the presents sent out at once to the lucky guessers.
