Extraordinary Cure ob1 an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not Bleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as ii natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I bslieve I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. I trie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I [may say that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medioine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worso case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in ■ bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it i 9 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any übo of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, Henry Maiden. To H.

We have subieoted a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. ~ • - The results of-the analysis, which are set forth In a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsolutely free from any trace of-fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur £)Oßoß# -,■■'■■. ...
