TJITCHEN' CELEBRATED BLOOD I O RESTORER. A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY. For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, sutfti as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronic Dysentry, and is a valuable/remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro- HAJMILTON BROTHMIS, UQtrEEN-STBEET, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street. Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-streets; Mr Roßixf-ox, Chemist, Par nell; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. Fall well, Otahuhu ; Mr. Fallwell, and T. R. Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can be seen on application to the Proprietor*^ his residence, top of Wake neld-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 eat proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker, thankfully acknowledging the rastoratipn of healthjexperienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cursd, 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 ness. The want of a reliable remedy for-Rheuma tism, &c, has long ,-been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. jWhile other means and medicine have been proringl them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently ana steadily unloosing the cruel ringers. of disease, and freeing captive man from tha deadly embrace. The people are now requestec to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And ihe 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 courae of this medicine, blood vessels —Trhich have become, as it were, choked up with 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. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F; ver?, and builds up the system. Children take it with vvonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr.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 guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day nay husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evexixg Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in "VTellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissiu.de us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial, lne pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief ; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in 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 enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walteij Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-stropt. THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODERN TIMES. Long experience has proved those 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 the bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, vi :—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent, forerunners of fey dysentery, diarrhcea, and cholera. HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT Is the most effectua remedy ror le-a or 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 respectable Druggists andStorekecpersthrough out the civilised world, with directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor, THJMAS HOLLOWAY, 533, Oxford-street, London. *** Beware of Counterfeits that may enainate mm thf TTnited St.Rt««>. IMMEL'S CHOICE PERFUMERY.
