No bottles are genuine unless beaoing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, QuEBN-eTREET, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street. Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-streets: Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell ; Messrs 811 l & Hudson, Victoria-street: Mr. Fallavell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallavell, and T. R. Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials oan be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake fleld-street. _,_.., ■ The strongest recommendation for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The est proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker, thankfully acknowledging the restoration 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- . npss. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, Sec;; 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 the Blood Restorer a fair 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 sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have ; become, as it were, choked up Avith 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.
