The following is striking evidence of the won- j derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all; 1 other means have failed to cure :— i Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 181 T- 1 Mr. Hitcheks,— Dear Sir, —I have to thank you very much for: t the benefit I have received through using yont .j"t valuable Blood Restorer; and as a ■warning and Hi guidance to others, would make known the \i particulars of my illness and cure. Some months | ago I wa3 taken ill with, pains in the back, snp- h posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene- II fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew . I rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stab, containing your professional announcement of the medicine ! and it 3 cures. The paper was of a backdate,; ' and the advertised agent's address, aChemistin i "VTellesley-street. My husband applied to Mm for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist I used such illnatured remarks to dissuade na I j from testing the virtue of the medicine, thatwe I felt there was some spite at work, and deEsr mined more than ever to give it a trial. The i pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before^ I many bottles v. Tere taken, I was not only : 4 liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect' health; appetite was restored, strength re-?fi gained, and I have to thank God that you were ■|| at hand to provide the means of my rapid enre. '• jj and enable me once more to attend to 'ißSi".';} household duties. Yours every gratefully, llhs. Walter Kxox. i; i To Mr. Hitchens, Upper "Wakefield-street. AC A R T E.
