T'■ e-timoniajls can! be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendnon for this medi cine is its ownintrinsic worthas shewn by the ■ marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The b^st proof of this is to be found in t'ne.large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. ''As, At the request of those already cur.d,,the proprietor now brings, the "Blood Restorer"' more prominently before the Public, in theanre and certain hope that this utilising of the gite ola merciful Providence will prove a great: blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sic_-:; ness. ■:'- The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other 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 Restorera fair and impartial trial. And '.be Praprietor would have.it dis tinctly und _r_tood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, pari- - fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Wood is the , cause of mo3t sickness and pains: Aser a course of this medicine, blood vessels—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 ire system. N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitnte for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, ' and builds up the system. Children take it with *70nderf_l results. No household should be \ without it. _ ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CUBE. The following is striking evidence of the won-... derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after au other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland,- ' Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— A,, A: Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much tor 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 the attendance of medical men, I .grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in bis hand a portion of an old^Auckland Evening Star, containing your profession al announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a backdate, and the advertise d agent's address, aChenustm Wellesley-street. My husband applied to mm ; for Hitchens' 8100 d Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade as from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, ami deter mined more than ever to give it a taw. *J|° pleasing result of the trial was, that, aner taking it a week, I felt wonderful rekef; before many bottles were taken, I was not one; liberated from a sick room, but felt in Pg™? health; appetite was restored, strength.^; gained, and I have to thank God that you were . at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend tor my household duties.
