Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The question naturally presents itself, "Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed V The only answer which can be given is -.—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. Aitherto it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances; but however valu able it has been found in all the hitherto known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to neglect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy has failed. But a chemical process has now been discovered, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw backs which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. c_fT Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation of Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.

I" rtimonials can |be seen on application tc the Proprietor at his residence, top of Wake lieJdetitct. _he stronges recommendation for this mcdi cine own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. Th°i est proof of this is to be found in the large n im er of testimonials received by tbe maker hankfully acknowledging the restoration oi ealth experienced b u?ing this panacea. At tho reques .o 'ho already cured, the proprietor now b _ yi he "Blood Restorer' more prominen ■ eforathe Public, in the sure certain hope that this utilising of the gifts iof mercif Providence will prove a greal blessing to sufl n humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick ness lhe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma *• sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. -While othei means and medicine have been proving them selves vain 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 now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that tho cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine- blood ve.sels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet 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 substitute for the Doctor. It arrefts Colds, allays Feverp, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results- No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following; is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens, — Dear Sir,—l have 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 tbe attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, 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 mediieine and its cures. The paper was 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 us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, aad deter mined more than ever to give it atarial. Thei pleasing result of the trial was, that afterl taking it a w*eck, I felt wonderful re'ltef; before! many bottles were t*ken, I was not onljf liberated from a sick room, but fglt in perfect! health; appetite was restored,, strength rei gained, and I have to thank God;'that you were at hand to provide the means of aay rapid cure! and enable me once more ta. attend to mjp household duties. $ Yours every gi«_e__ully, Mrs. Walter Knox.§ To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-streetu, I ABERDEEN POLISHED GRANFiL MONUMENTS, I In Red and Blue, from £5, Free on board ship to any part of New Zealajs Inscriptions Accurate and Beautiful.
