At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer more prominentiv 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 npss. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has lonj; been felt as one of the greatest calamities" of the age. i While other means aid 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 the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor 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 vififorating system. i Impurity ..and inactivity of the' Mood i 3 tho cause of most sickness and pains. Afterja course of this medicine, blood vessels —which have become, as if. were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhiiirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its coursa vigour and strength to the en tire system. X.B.—Country Settlers will flncl in HitcheiiS Bloori Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. ' It arrests folds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with \vonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure : — Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitciiexs, — Dear -Sir,—l have to thank you very much tor 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- Pv sed lo be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted 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 Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The vaper-was of a backdate, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Yt'ellesley-st>eet. My husband applied to him for Hitehens' 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. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief : before many bottles were t'ken, I was not only liberated froia a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength 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 attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mes. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitehens, Upper Wakefield-Btreet.
