TESTIMONIALS can be seen on application to tho Proprietor, at his residence, top of \Vak&. field-street. The strongest recommendation for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, a» 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 acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, lie proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the snre and certain hope that this utilising of thegiftg of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated "disease, and averting threatening sick !!■ SS. The want of a reliable remedy, for Rheuma tism, &c, has long jboen; felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. [While other I means arid medicine have been proving them | selves vain and delusive this remedy has been ! silently pnd steadily unloosing the cruel fingers Oi! lijscusi-, and freeing ca,pii»c man from that deadly embrace. The people are now 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, Sec. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder- ' ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and m viscorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Mood .i 3 the eauf>e of most sickness and pains. After a eonrse of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-biood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en tire system. N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens' Blood. Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests OoWs. allays Fevers, ana builds up the system. Children take it-svith wonderful results. No household should be without it. Rokeby-street. Auckland. Ist December, 1577. Mr. Kitchens,— 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, would 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 Dene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stak, containing yotir professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a backdate, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemistin WeUesley-street. My husband applied to him . for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter- I mined more than ever to give it a trial. Tne I pleasing result of the trial was, that after I taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before I many bottles were t«ken, I was not only I liberated from a sick room, but felt m perfect I health; appetite was restored, strength re- I gained, and I have to thank God that you were I at hand to provide the means of-my rapid cure, Ir and enable me once more to attend to my |: household duties. Is Yours every gratefully, §■ Mrs. Walter Knox.
