HITCHEN' CELEBRATED BLOOD \ RESTORER. ' A NEVEK-FAILING REMEDY. For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its 'orrns, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likeAvise cures Chronic Dysentry, and is a valuable remedy as a -family -Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-st.j_.eet, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street. Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-streets: Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell ; Messrs Hill & HUDSON, Victoria-street; Mr. Fallaa-ell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwell, and T. R. Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can be seen en application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendation for this medi cine is its OAvn intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The est proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker, thankfully acknoAvledging the restoration of healthjexpericnced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor novr brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove- a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated disease, and averting threatening sick ness. The Avant of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long 'jbeen felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. jWhile other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are uoav requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it Avere, choked up with unnealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, floAving naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to tne en tire system* N B —Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F»ver«, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— _ . „ Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, Avould make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grow rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper Avas of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but tho Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, th*t we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. Ihe pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a weok, I felt wonderful relief ; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but telt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-street. ly£___£ki_^^ THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODERN TIMES.
