HITCHENS' CELEBRATED BLOOD RESTORER. A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY For all Skin Diseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronic Dysentery, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No Bottles are Genuine unless bearing the Proprietors Signature. HA MILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street. Wholesale Agents. Sold by Mr. J, Ensox, Chemist, Queen-street: Mr. A. G. HUGH."**, corner of Shortland and Princes-streets : Mr. Rouivson, Chemist, Par nell: Messrs. Hill and Hudson, Victoria-street; and Mr. Fallavkll, Otahuhu. Ti_. timoxtals can be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his rosidenee, top of Wake field-stivct. The strongest, recommendation for this medicine is its oavii intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on Avell known and much-respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the largo 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, tne proprietor uoav brings the "Blood Restorer' more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that, this utilising of the .-Tills of a merciful Providence avj'H 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 &0., has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the ago. While oilier means and nn dicine havebecn piwing themselves vn in 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 tho B'ood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it distinctly understood that, the cures of Rheumatism, Sec, are due entirely to this medicine's wonderful etl'cct upon the blood, by its cleansing, purify ing, and inA*is.orating power. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—Avhich have become, as it Avere, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhiliarant Avith pure scarlet life-Dlood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the entire system. , N.8.--Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It, arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it AVith Avonderful results. No household should bo without it. T U S T RECEIVED AT I rip H E "p HARM AC V, | QUEEN -STRI.
