' ho strongest recommendation for this medi cine own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. THt e*t nroof of this is to be found in the large n lvi er of testimonials received by the maker, hankfullv acknowledging the restoration oJ c ilth experienced b using this panacea. At the reuuc'B o rho already cured, the proprietor now b > f : he "Blood Restorer' more prominen efore the Public, in the sure certain hor r that this utilising of the gifts of mercil Providence will prove a greai blessing to snfl n humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick ness Iho wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma ♦• sm, &c. has long been felt as one of th( greatest calamities of the age. While othei means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has beei silently and steadily unloosing the cruel finger; of disease, and freeing captive man from tha deadly embrace. The people are now requestec to give the Blood Restorer a fair and inipartia trial. And the Praprietor would have it ais tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect \ipon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is th cause of most sickness and pains. After a courst of this medicine, blood vessels—which havi become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant. with pure scarle 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 substituti for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers and builds up the system. Children take it witl wonderful results. No household should bi without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after al other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens, — Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much fo: the benefit I have received through using you: valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning an< guidance to others, would make known th< particulars of my illness and cure. Some month: ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I ftrev rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising One day my husband had in his hand a portioi of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicin< and its cure 3. The paper was of a back date and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist ii Vf ellesley-street. My husband applied to hin for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemis used such illnatured remarks to dissuade v, from testing the virtue of the medicine, that w< felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. Th< pleasing result of the trial was, that afte: taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; befon many bottles were t^-ken, I was not onl; liberated froia a sick room, but felt inpeifec health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you wen at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure and enable me once more to attend to m; household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-street. — THE GREATEST WONDER 01 MODERN TIMES.
