The following is striking evidence of the ayotv dc-ful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-strs_et, Auckland. Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— . Dear Sir,—l have to thjvnk you very much for tho benefit I have receired through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Somo months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back sup posed to bo lumbago. So f_r from berne bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I KreAV rapidly worse, and the p_in became agonising. One day mr husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Etmni. O Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine und its cures. Tho paper W-S of a back date, and the ad revised agent's address, _ Chemistin Wellesley-treet. My husband applied to him for Hitchens* Blood Restorer, but the Chemist u<-d mich illnamred v#m»e_» to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite »t work, and deter mined more than ever to give It atrial, the pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week. I felt wonderful relief; before many b-.ties were »-ke_, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I havo to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Kncoc. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Waketteld-str-et. T O C A L TESTI MON Y. PULVERMACH ER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY improved).

Thirty years' successful oxnerienro has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is sponttt_oo_- and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26.1877. " Dear Sir,— I have been to great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J years I havo not been free from it for one minute ; and to make thing* worse, about two years and nine months sinco Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has b£-n dreadfullr painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in roferenoe to Pulvcrmacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures sffootcd by them, and being averse to tnking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try »ne. The result has boon something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left mo in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and tht^ Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standlner that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. Tou aro perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, aad perhaps it may bo the means of somo other unfortunato sufferer gaining relief. "lam, yours truly, "Jambb S_a_qr. " G.
