Testimonials can be seen on app'ication to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendation for this medicine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much-respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker,, thankfully acknowledging the complete restora tion of health experienced by using this panacea. , , At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now 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 want of a reliable remedy for Rheumatism &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving themselves vain and delusive, this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease,, and freeing captive man from that deadly em brace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it distinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c, are due entirely to this medicine's wonderful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, purify ing, and invigorating power. _ impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, Choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhiliarant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the entire sj stem. . NJ3.—Country Settlers will find m Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. Tjl C O IS O M IF.
