KITCHEN'S CELEBRATED BLOOI RESTORER re FOUNTAIN 01 FRIENDSHIP LODGE, 1.0.0. F.

The subjoined letter issued by order of th Lodge to Mr. Jones, will bo the excuse for i future omitting the Officers' Certificate hithert attacheu to Mr. Jones' testimonial. The ol jection of tho Society is merely en technics grounds, for iiono can do other than rejoice at fellow being's recovery from an alleged incu able disease;— " Mb. Jones,— " Dear Sir.^ln deference to some of the men bers of the Loyal Fountain of Friendship, wfc believe that their sacred rights and privilege have been iufrintfed, we must request you 1 withdraw the certificate appended to yoi letter to Mr. Ilitchens, bearing the initials < the offices we then held in the Lodge ; but, i doing so, we would have you and Mr. Hitchei to understand that we fully endorse what tht certificate intended to convey.

The following is a copy of the brief inoffe sive certificate, which* has until now b-M attached to the testimonial, and which excitt the anger of some rather unphilunthropical disposed members of the Order: — Auckland, Ist June, 1877.
