At the rec:ur* ti 'ho already cursd, the proprietor now b *$, he "Blood Restorer" more prominon ore the Public, in the sure certain hoi f that mis utilising of the gifts of mercif Proridence will prove a great blessing to suit humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick- Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma *■ sm, &c. has long been- felt a« one of the greatest calamities of tho age. While other means and medicine hare been proving them selves rain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are notr requested to give tho Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And Ihe Proprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that tho core* of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's vronder fnl effect upon tho blood, by it» cleansing, puri fying, and inviaroratina system. Impurity and inactivity of the Wood is the canse of moet sickinvss and pains.

The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other metwis have failed to cure :— Rokeby-streeU Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. HrrcHKJfS,— , . Dear Sir,—l have to thank you Tery much for the benefit I haTe roceived through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, vrould make known the particulars of my illness a»d cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in tho back, sup posed to bo lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, 1 grow rapidly worse, and tho pain became agonising. One day my husband had i« his kand a portion o£ an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. Tho paper was of a took date, and tho advertised, agent's address, aChetnistin Wallesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchons' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnaturod remarks to dissuade us from testing the Tirtu* of the medicine, that we felt there was aome spite at work, and deter mined more than eTer to giTO it a tnaL Ihe pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a wock, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were t*kon, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained and I hare to thank God that you were at hand to provide tho means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties.

Thn gfollowing is spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,—l have boon "a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for tho lust 6i years I have not been free from it for one minute; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of tho Bhvddor act in which has been dreadfully painful and treuble some.. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvcrmacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for thcae com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has reon something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it, has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my lifo been made miserablo by these pains, I feel almost like another man.
