TO THE PUBLIC.

Mar 5, 1526.
THE Contractors, YOR THE LAST TIME, respectfully
address the Public ; for, at the conclusion of the present Lot-
tery they must close their Mice Doors, as from that hour all Lot-
tales are prohibited in this kingdom.
To say that they lament, deeply lament, the determination of his
Majesty's Government to suppress the Lotteries, is only to express
that which it is most natural they should feel. 'The abolition of the
Lottery is the total destruction of their business, and it is a measure
which casts upOn the world hundreds of poor dependents, who
have been employed by them for a long series of years, many of
whom, from age and aillictions, are incapable of taking other em-
ployments, and will be reduced to a state of utter destitution.
The Contractors abstain from settini forth any lists of the com-
pulsory Taxes or Duties which might have been remitted by Go-
vernment, instead of discentinttiog the voluntary Tax of a Lot-
tery ; bet they are quite certain, that if the sense of the country
had been taken as to whether the Lottery, or the least objectionable
of the Taxes they could point out, should be retained, the majority
would have been a hundred to one in favour of continuing the Lot-
tery, which has existed as a branch of the Public Revenue for more
than line Hundred and Fifty Years, and during that period has
received the sanction and support of many honorable men, distin-
guished as well for their morality, as for the wisdom and integrity
of their public conduct.
It is a gratification to the Contractors, that, by uniting their
interests in this Lottery, they are enabled to present a Scheme (the
last that will be seen in this country), which will afford the Public,
in their farewell adventure, the chance of Six Prizes of Thirty
Thousand Pounds—a greater number than was ever given in any
former Scheme.
The fact of this being the very Last Lottery in England, com-
bined with the unexampled number of Thirty Thousands in the
Scheme, renders the Sale of the Tickets certain, and ensures a rapid
Advance of Price as the Day of Drawing approaches; but the
Contractors are anxious that all should have the power of embrace
ing the present opportunity, and have, therefore, commenced dos
Sale of the Tickets at only Eight Shillings advance upon the peke
of the last Lottery; and they now pledge themselves that ail who
apply on or before Saturday, the 27th May, shall be supplied at
that price, but on the Monday following (25th MAT), the price
must be increased One Pound Four Shillings each Ticket, and they
cannot undertake that the price shall he limited to that advance
for more than ten days.

LEAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous fot
curing, in all its stages, the VENRREAL DISEASE
One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
ease, will soon convince the patient of the certainty of his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
C.mvement than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet ; and
testy years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it
will cliect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods
avail nothing. Tor the Scurvy and other Chronical Disorders,
this hledicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons
of both sexes have been radically cured of the above cruel disor-
ders, within the last eight years. Prepared and sold by the sole
