QUEEN-STREET, Opposite McArthnrfe t'o.'s Buildings. X V ii E N I~S L 1 X E . Although the modern Materia Mfcdica in cludes many valuable remedies for human ailliction*, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal vitality is failing. Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. . . .. ~T . , The question naturally presents itself, ' V\ hy is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed V The only answer which can bo t'iven is :—That a certain difficulty has boen found in so preparing it that its action may bo kept, under perfect control. Aithertp it has been used in almond and olive oils, in Sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in .several other substances ; but however valu able it has been found in »li the hilheito known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results havo been experienced, wmcti have led physicians to neglect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy has tailed. But a chemical process has now bean discovered, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw hacks which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. _ «3T C \utio.v.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous It, is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the uso of any preparation of Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.

At the requc-s 1o ; 'io already cured, the proprietor now b }yt he "Blood Restorer" more prominen efore the Public, in the sure certain hoy t ihat this utilising of the gifts of a mereiii Providence will prove a great blessing to Rufie Eg humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick ness Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma t sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. .While 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 now requested to give tho Blood Restorer a fair5 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 Mood is the cause of most sicknps* and pains. Aftei^a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en tire system. , .'-j X.B, —Country Settlers will find in Hitchem Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F: vers, and builds up the system. Children take itwith wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CUEE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the. Blood Restorer, aiter all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-streer, AucKlana, Ist December, 18^7. Mr. Hitchens,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for thobenefi! I have received through using your valuablr- Bl<»od Restorer, and as a. warning and euid&nf o to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I wa. taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to t>e lumbago. So far from Veirsgbene fitted hy The attendance of medical men, Igrew rapidly\vorse. and the pain became agonising. One day IBJ" husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stab, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a backdate, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in vr^llesley-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 mined more than ever to give it a trial, lfce pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful rehef; before many bottles -were t<ken, I was not omy liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health: appetite was restored, strengtn 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 attecd to my household, duties. Yours every gratefully, Mes. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-street. HAMILTON, WAIK AT 0.
