FIFTY POUNDS FOR A GUESS.

An oidinary Walker's whisky bottle has been completely filled with Dr Fletoher's Fills, securely corked with a cork one inch into the neck and sealed and placed in the charge of the Commercial Bank, Newtown, Sydney. No LIVING SOUL KNOWS HOW MANY FILLS THH bottle contains. We agree to divide £50 (fifty pounds) in prizes for the nearest guesses as to the number of pills contained in the bottle as f ollowb :—: — One present of £25 for the nearest guess. „ „ „ £10 for the next nearest guess. „ „ „£5 for the next nearest guess. „ „ „£4 for the next nearest guess. „ „ „£3 for the next nearest guess. { „ „ „£2 for the next nearest guess. | „ „ „£1 for the next nearest guess. Conditions :— We make no charge for the guess, but only purchasers of Dr Fletcher's Bilious and Liver Fills are eligible to compete, and the guess must be written on one of our printed forms, one of which is wrapped round every shilling box leaving our laboratory after this date. 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 £10 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 gueeß 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 tbe presents sent out at once to the lucky gaessers. This competition is a perfectly bona fide affair and arranged for the purpose of introducing Dr Fletcher's Pills, so there can be no appeal from our decision.
