A X 1Y G E N IS LIFE. , Although the modern Materia Medica in eludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal vitality is failing. Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The question naturally presents itself, •* vv hy is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed .' The only answer which can be given is :—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. Aitherto it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances; but however valu able it has been found in all the hitheito known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to neglect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy has failed. But a chemical process has now been discovered, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw backs which previous modes of aaministration have invariably produced. <t_T Caution*.— Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation o" Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.

While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadil/ unloosing the cruel lingers of disease, and freeing cantivo man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requi-sted to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartia trial.

The following is striking evidenco of the won delul effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other .means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-strect, Auckland, „, _ Ist December, 1577. Mr. Kitchens, — Dear Sir,— I have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Bluod Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known tho particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I v. a* 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 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 52"ii , advertised agent's address, aChemisthi \v ellesley-st.rcet. My husband applied to him for Hitchens Ulood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it atrial. The p.easing result of tho trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were t-ken, 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 en»b!e me once more to attend to my household duties*. Yours every gratefully. -. -t ~ _ , ;Mks- Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens. Upper Waken. Id-straet. "VT OTI _j_ O~F R£MU VA L. The Undersigned -has REMOVED his Office and.
