Auckland, August 20,1878. j Dear Sir, —I had tsuffereds3everely and -most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from 'exposure to all x weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and wa3 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 a natnral sequence, my general health was also materially iniured. I believe 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 tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob baining 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 confess that I was hot hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, Dut having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to « ;he directions, and the result is that I am ;hangedfrom a -mere wreck to my. former self _ igain—restored to health and vigour, and able 4 0 drive daily through all weathers, and \ it all hours, if; occasion requires. I am sure rou have never had. a worse case to deal ~ Yith than mine, and although even now, in )ad—weatherm—feer~m'yT limba rather stiff, ifter sitting on the box; for a long time, I am t living example of-the almost" mlraculoua surative properties (under Providence) of your ~ tow celebrated, Blood' Restorer.
