EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF AN A t'CKXAND Omnibus Drivkr, 21 years resident, op Long-standing Rheumati m. 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 sleep at night, and wan 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 natural sequence my Keneral health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and itd attendant evils, in every shape and form and my iifo was almost a burden to me. Itr .c every remedy I could hoar of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum in medicine and medical advice was siderable, but of no avail, until I inve bottle of your Blood Restorer. I that I was not hopeful at all when - -----' chased your medicine, 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 worse 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 is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, Henry . Maiden.
