HITCHEN'S CELEBRATED BLOOD RESTORER re FOUNTAIN OF FRIENDSHIP LODGE, L0.0.F. The Proprietor of the Blood Restorer has been astounded to learn that certain members of tho above excellent Order have "objected to their "Visiting Officers endorsing the testimonial of a brother, who with grateful feelinas desired to publish abroad the medicine which, by the help of Providence, led to his recovery from a pain ful illness. The subjoined letter Issued by order of the Lodge to Mr. Jones, will bo tho excu- c for in future omitting the Officers' Certificate hitherto attached to Mr. Jones' testimonial. The ob jection of the Society is merely on technical ? rounds, for none can do other than rejoice at a ellow being's recovery from an alleged incur able disease:— " Mr. Joneh,— " Dear Sir,—ln deference to some of the mem bers of the Loyal Fountain of Friendship, who believe that their sacred rights and privileges have been infringed, we must request you to withdraw the certificate appended to your letter to Mr. Hitchens, bearing the initials of the offices we then held in the Lodge; but, in doing so, we would have you and Mr. Hitchens to understand that wo fully endorse what that certificate intended to convey. •'We are, &c. "ATXTST USD fALEY. "Chas. Overton. Yes ! the certificate will be removed after so courteous and manly a request. The testimonial remains, and in the majesty of truth tells its own tale. There is no desire to imply incapacity on the part of the Lodge Physicians;—on the contrary, they have proved themselves worthy of the trust. Nevertheless, the Proprietor of _b.e Blood Restorer desires a fair hearing for his panacea, the use of which has been followed with such unparalleled j success; believing that it is one of the highest and most sacred of privileges to be able to administer relief to a suffering brother in this world of pain and trouble. The following is a copy of the brief inoffen sive certificate, which has until now b"en attached to the testimonial, and which excited the anger of some rather unphilanthropically disposed members of the Order: — Auckland, Ist June, 1877. Wo, the undersigned, "Visiting Officers of the Loyal Fountain of Friendship Lodge, of the 1.0.0. F., M.U., A.D., bear witness to the won derful cure of Bro. Jones, effected by the use of Mr. Hitchens' Blood Restorer. C. Overton Alfh-d Alb v. THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODERN TIMES, Long experience has proved these famous remedies to bo most effectual in curing either tho dangerous maladies or the slighter coru ; plaints which are more particularly incidental j to the life of a miner, or those living in the bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard tho I system against thoso evils which so often beset i the human race, vi :—Coughs, colds, and dis j orders of tho liver and stomach—the frequent i forerunners of fey dysentery, diarrhoea, and ! cholera. HOLLOWAT'S OINTMENT . Is the most effoctua remedy tor old ore. 1 wounds, ulcers, rheumatism, and t all skin I diseases ; in fact, when used according to the printed directions, it never fails to cure alike deep and superficial ailments. These Medicines may be obtained from all respectable Druggists andStorekeepersthrough out the civilised world, with directions for use in almost every language.
