Edson, Chemist, Queen-street; Mi- A. tt HUGHES, corner of Shortland and Princes street; Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell: -Messrs If ill & Hudson:, Victoria-street; Mr. I'ALL WELL, Otahuhu; Mr. FaILWELL, and T. It .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can be seen on appUcation to the Proprietor, at his residecc, top of Wake field-street. Tho Biionj,-er.t reconunendn on for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best nroof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. At the request of thoso already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" moro prominently before tho Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing tb suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. Tho 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 Angers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to givo tho Blood Restorera fair and impartial trial. And *.i> _ Praprietor would have it dis tinctly under jtood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood ia the cause of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels —which have become, as it were, choked u|. 'vith unhealthy matter—become exhilh mt --nib 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 substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, 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 tho 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 tho 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 his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. Tho 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 illnaturod remarks to dissuade us from testing tho virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was somo spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after talcing it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable mo once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-stroet L. D. N~ ATHA* * &- Agents, Auckland.
