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 __\i fying, and m vigorating system. ' Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, chokf-d up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in Its course A'igour and strength to the en tire s; stem. r-, N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Hitchena' Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor- It arrests Colds, allays F.ver. and builds up the system.

The following is striking evidence of the won .de-ful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— •' . Rokeby-stree', Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. HITCHENS,— Dear Sir,—! have to thank you very much for 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 Avith pains in-the back, sup j posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene ! fitted 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 St^r, 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. Well .JSley-stJ eet. 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 Avnrk, and deter mined more than ever to give it atrial. The pleasing result of the trial Avas, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were t-.ken, I was not only liberated from a sick room,, but felt in perfect health; anpetite v. as restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that yon were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure,, and enabio me onoe more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To ?Tr. Hi!ch^ns, i Upper Waketield-street. ■ R[._fifc;«3^©lf3rtf3f {■£-_,_ ■.. '-■ -' V s-.il-. y - " r-^e^v[ mi.E GREATEST WONDEEOF JL MODERN TIMES.
