While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel lingers 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 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 is tne ca-i.e of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—which havo become, as it were, choked up with unhealtny matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, nnd impart ing in its course vigour and strength to ihe en tire system. ... -.-■_ , N.B,— Country Settlers will nnd m Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor.

The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, alter all other means haA-e foiled 10 cure :— llokeby-street, Auckl and, Ist December, 1377. 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 euro. 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 srew rapidly" Avorse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stak, containing your professional announcement of tho medicine and its cures. Tho paper v>'as of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist m Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but tho Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that Aye felt there was some spito at 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 bottles were tdcen, I Avas not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite Avas restored, strength re gained, and I haA-e 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.
