With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the best English or French prepara tions ; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of diet for invalids, especially those suffering from an impaired digestion.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant.

Hitchens,— . . Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and cuidauce to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months a- o I was taken ill with pains m the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted by the attendance of medical men, I prew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day ray V-uaband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stab, containing your professional announcement of the medicine ar.d its cures. The raper was of a backdate,, and the advertised agent's address, aChemistin Wsllesley-street. My husband applied to .him for Kitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissusde US f-om testing the virtue of the medicine, th&twe felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial, me pleasing result of the tiial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful reiief; before many bottles were t^ken, I was not only liberated froia a sick room, but felt m perfect, health;. appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure^ and enab-.e me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully. Mrs. Walter Knox.
