TTITCHENS' CELEBRATED BLOOD JCL RESTORER. A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY For all Skin Diwn'jrs, TUicnmHtism in nil its forms, such as Gout. NcuruUin, and Lumbago, likewise cures Ciirnnio ;)y-H>i;tory, and is a valuable remedy as ;i Family Medicine for purifying and cie;;;irii;:g the biood. No Bottles are Genuine unless bearing the Proprietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street. WnoLKSALii Agents. Soldbv Mr. J. Kikox, Chemist, Queen-street; Mr. A. G. 11iv.uk-, corner ol: .-J.'ioriland and Princes-streets: lUr. Uoßl^soN, Chemist, Par nell: Messrs. Hili:i.r.d Tinrisou, S'icioda-street; and Mr. Fall we Li., OtahiLhu. Tkstimoxiat.s can be seen r-n app'ication to the Proprietor, at his residence, lop et Wake tield-stri et. The strongest recommendation for this medicine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by tho marvellous cures effected on well known and mnch-respccted members of our community. The beat 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, tnc proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the fd^'ts of a merciful Providence will 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 &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and 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 that deadly em brace. The people are now requested Lo give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it distinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to this modioinc'3 wonderful eiFect upon the blood, by its cleansing, purify ing, and invigorating power. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. Al'teracourse of this medicine, blood vessels—which have became, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhiliarant with pure scarlet lite-Dlood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the entire sjstem. N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Kitchen'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. THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODERN TIMES. Long experience has proved these famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter com plaints which are more particularly incidental to the life of a miner, or those living in tho bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard tho system against those evils which so often beset the human race, viz.:—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent forerunners of fey r, dysentery, diarrhcea, and cholera. Is the most effectual remedy for old sorers wounds, ulcers, rheumatism, and all skin diseases : in fact, when used according to the printed directions, it never fails to cure alike deep and superficial ailments. These Medicines may be obtained from all resp&ctable Druggists andStorekecpersthrough out the civilised world, with directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor, THOMAS IIOLLOWAY, KS3, Oxford-street, 10 idon. »* Beware of Counterfeits that may eminato mm t'no United Smtos.
