WRail Tickets from Calcutta, Allahabad, Lucknow, and all other principal Railway Stations in India, in connection with

the above, available for any route, any day, to England, Egypt, Palestine, all parts of Europe, America, and round the World. Special facilities for breaking the journey, Registration of Baggages, &c. No Commission charged for securing Berths in Steamers, Sleeping Cars, Coupes, &c.

In fact, through our special contracts with the various Steam Ship and Railway Companies, we are enabled to furnish the individual traveller with a book of tickets to take him to any part of the world. Thus a Gentleman proceeding home on six months' leave can purchase, at our Calcutta Office, the necessary tickets to take him home, say cia Alexandria, Constantinople, the Danube, Vienna and Berlin, and to bring him out by an alternate route. He his no tickets or passage to secure either way; he travels as an ordinary passenger, and finds, in some cases, a considerable percentage taken off the aggregate of the fares. At the end of his journey, should he have had reason to change or shorten his route, we will refund in many cases the value of unused tickets. Another and a totally separate Branch of our system is that which provides the traveller with a set of coupons with which he can liquidate his Hotel expenses en route, and which are available at over 700 first class Hotels in India, Egypt, Europe, America, Japan, China, &c. &c. See Pamphlet of Routes with specially engraved Maps, (post-free 8 annas.)
