Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 ykahb resident, of Long-standing Rhkumatihm. Auokland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in tbe exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially luiu red I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. Itr io every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con slderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I .may say that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried bo many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and tho result is that I am changed from a mere wreok to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worso case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell mo it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it ia the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter ls not written in vain. I have the more pleasuro in giving this testimonial as it i 3 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, - Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. mAUPIRI COAL MINING COM JL. PANY (LIMITED).

LADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS :- I Two important points should not be lost sight of In selecting a Sewing Machine. First: Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in tho papers about Machines which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2ndi Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because It happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to piy dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can onfldently recommend Taylors Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.
