HITCHENS' CELEBRATED BLOOD RESTORER. A 3SEVER-FAILING REMEDY For all Skin Diseases. Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cure? Chronic Dysentery, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No Bottles arc Genuine unless bearing the Proprietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street. Wholesale Agents. Sold by Mr. J. Edsox, Chemist, Queen-street: Mr. A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-streets: Mr. Rni-u«sox, Chemist, Par neil: Messrs. Hill and Hudson, Victoria-street; and Mr. Fallwell, Otahuhu. id, Testimonials can be seen on APPLICATION. The strongest recommendation for this medicine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well known and much-respecteel members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large 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, the proprietor now brings the " Blood Restorer" more prominently 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- The want of a reliable remedy for Rheumatism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means anel medicine have been proving themselves vain and delusive, this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from their deadly embrace. The people arc now requested to give the "Blood Restorer" a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have if, distinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c., are due entirely to this medicine's wonderful effect upon the blooel, by its cleansing, purifying, and invigorating power. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. A ter a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhiliarant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, a^d impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the entire system. N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Hitchen's Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with -wonderful results. No household should be without it. 'nOTTIE'S SCOTTISH OILS. DISCOVERIES. LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM. GOUT, BAD LEGS, DEFORMED FEET AND HANDS, PILES, &c. THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND OIL is immediately obsorbed into the Blood, chang ing--, dull black hue into a brilliant red. pos sessing a delicate nevvous force, which may be felt as a tremulous motion in the muscles, which often instantly relieves a great many painful disorders, which render life unbearable. POTTIES SCOTTISH OIL Will be found invaluable in nearly every in stance, and for colonial use is one of the best Medicines ever introduced, especially in the following cases: — ~„_.,. TRAVELLERS, who have to shift from bed to bed. SURVEYORS, who are exposed to such vermin day and night. SHOOTING PARTIES, exposed to the tor ments of tho tick. Members op Cricket. Rowing, and Football Clubs, and Athletes, May with great advantage use it for the muscles of the arms and limbs,rubbing night and morn ing. It renders those muscles elastic and firm : should the muscles be sore a good dressing will srive immediate relief, and prevent the distres sing effects of stiffness, &c. POTTIES SCOTTISH OIL. A Slight ."h-essing night and morning will give complete immunity from fleas, mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks, and all kinds of bush vermin. The Oil when rubbed in all over the body or hands and face, dries at once, leaving a beautiful gloss on the skin, which, while it feels highly agree able, forms a perfect barricade.

Jamieson.' • "Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, 1876.—Sir,— Having been much benefitted by tho use of your Indian Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony as to its eilicacy, and can rccom mend others to try it. Some of my friends, who have also been using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Ophelia Bennett." "Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your Ghol lah's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my case to be all that you have represented it to be; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in \ aluable meelicine I beg to state that I had been suffering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my ' general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rhen mat ism Mixture, anel found myself getting better after taking three bottles of it. I continued taking the medicine for about six weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism. My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." "Dunedin, 10th July, 1876.—Sir,—I have plea sure in stating, for the benefit of others, that I have derived the most unexpected results from the use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture.

I am happy to state that I am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite and general health are much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties. This happy change has been brought about by the use ot your Rheumatism Mixture for about two months.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully.— (Signed), S. Pickett." "Dunedin, 31st August, 1876.—Sir,—Having taken your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixture for some considerable time, and having been com pletely cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten years, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. lam now free from all pain, and well in my health, and have the free use of my hands and feet, which I had not previous to taking your medicine.
