The folloAving is striking oa .dence of the Avon derful effects of tho Blood Restorer, after all other means haA-e failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— Dear Sir,—l nave 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 fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly Avorse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicino and its cures. The paper Ayas of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade 113 from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there Avas some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to giA-c it atrial. Tho pleasing result of tho trial was, that after taking it a Aveek, I felt Avonderful relief ; before many bottles were t'-cen, I Avas 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. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-street. QUIP CHANDLERY & SAILMAKING. NOTICE OF REMOVAL. A. B.

Thirty years'successful experience has proved tho marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. Tho following is spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for tho last CJ years I have not been free from it for one minute ; and to make things Avorse, about tAvo years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in Avhich has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanio Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result lias been something Avonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in tin- morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for i'), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (11, li.ia \'-en of such long standing that I never expected :oget any better), and instead of my li_«i b.-n made miserable by these pains, I feel alm,--i like another man.
