Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 yrabb resident, of Long-standing Rhkumati.-m. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many yoars, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and wa3 unable to lie except in one position. Day and night l was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health w&s also materially imured 1 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 le every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any reliof whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice wa3 very cod siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at- all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slightest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. 1 adhered strictly to the directions, and the- result is that I am changed from a mere wreck 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 feol my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a longtime, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures tonendyou this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other Bufforers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it 19 Quito un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, uir, youra gratefully, HENRy To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland.

f^ BEAT GENIUSES HAVE BIG \X HEADS, so you needn't wonder at my Big Belltoppers are all sold. I have, however, succeeded in finding a few more, from size 6J to 7, which will be large enough for very clever men, who do not profess to be great geniuses, at the Bame old price, Bs. Any man who can Bhow me a Satin Scarf that he has paid 4s 6d for of superior quality to my beauties at Is, shal have one of mine for nothing, until further notice. You see. Ladies, how I try to sharpen up some of the married men. It seems a pity to let them have such splendid wide and narrow brim Felt Hats for the low price of 2s6d, but you know I must let them have a bargain when it is thrown in my way. I don't see any chance in prospect of their ever gettir g such another bargain again in Waistcoats as I am now selling at 4d each. Since writing the above, I h*ve bought a lot of fashionable White Hard Felt Hats, the wholesale price of which was 6s Bd. I bought them for—weli, never mind what I bought them for. The proper price of them is about 103. Well, I will soil them for the ridicu lous price of 4s each. I have also iust bought 10 dozen Fashionable Hard Black Hat 3, and will sell them at the same price, namely 4s; also 5 dozen splendid Plaid Shirts, which I will sell at 3i 6d each ; aUo a lot of White Ventilator Bell toppers at 7s. When you tell them I have splendid Unbleached Oocks at 6d ; and superior Lead Pencils at 9d a dozen; Spectacles, Is; Hair Oil, 6d a bottle; Barry's Tricopberous at Is 4d, and good Tooth Combs at 2d. You will have told them about all I think it necessary for them to know. And now, Ladies, I have polishedofr the men, I will devote myself to your service. My word, I have some nice bargains for you now. First of all thero is Ribbon Velvet over one inch wide at 4d a yard; another lot of lovely Feather Kdgo Hibbon, beautiful colours, includ ing blue and pink, 5d a yard ; also another lot of the lovely 4Jd Ribbon, and I must say it is going so fast that I was thinking of raising the price. I wish my (3d Dresa Improvers werj going half ns well as my Is 6d Crinolines have been doing lately. Men's Leather Slippers (before I forget it)o 2s Cd a pair. I have just bought over 18 doz. more Stays (white ones this time), and am selling them, well at 4s. They are the same kind as the last lot, only white, and not a spot on them; coloured Silk Fringe, 3d yd • Black do., 4d to 6d. I am doubtful if there will be a pair of my S.w. Prunella Boots (without toe caps), left by Christmas, as there has been a Kreat run on them lately; and no wonder, when lam selling them at 8s Gd, and in Queen-street they are Us Cd. Come and see my other Prunella Bootß from 53 to 7s 6d ; wide black Hercules Braid, 2d a yard; nice lot, but not many. Ladies' Chemises, 4s each; Crochet Keels. 2Jd ; Crochet Hanks, 2id, or 2s 4d a dozen ; Black American Cloth for Table-covers, Is 3d a yard; Mixed Pins, 2d a packet, or eight packets for Is; Cleaver's large cakes Honey So:ip, 4d; fresh lot of thick Flannel, Is 3d a yard ; fresh lot ot Hair Brushes at Is 3d.

Ask your husbands to buy you one of my beautiful Feather Ed^e Scarfs at Is Cd. Men's very largo Cotton Handkerchiefs. 4d each. Come and see my Ruffling at Cd a yard. I have just bought over 30 dozen more Black Lace Falls, better than the last, but I will sell them at the same price, namely, Is each; Mantle Ornhments, 4d each ; White Scarf Lace, 9d a yard. Stout Ladies can now obtain superior large sound Stays at 3s a pair, and I have also large old fashioned ones that lace behind, at the same price. I am going to let you have a nice bargan for a little while in Towels, at 6d each; a few pairs of Women's and Children's damaged Boots left, at 2s and 2s Gel a pair; Sheath Knives, 4d each; superior do., C'l. I have Butchers' Knives, over lOinches long in tho blade, ls*ach; Shoemaker do., 3d each; White-handled Knives and Forke, 9d a pair. Tell your friends, ladies, about my splendid Stays I mentioned in my last advertise ment, many of which have scarcely a spot on thorn. I have sold as many as about 2J dozen pairs of Stays in one day since I bought them and I very much doubt if any other shop in Auckland ever sold as many in one day. Now mind you ladies don't lose them, as I certainly never had such a bargains in Stays before. Since I have taken to show my Infant's Coloured Boots ; they go flying at Is 9d.

TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS De. Hassall's Repoet. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution 54 Holborn Viaduct, 8.C., London, 3th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis. and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthtjk H. Hassall, M.D. Author o£ " Food Adulteration." Hknw«. F.C.S. Physicians. We Johnson's Report. Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. Heitki J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample, of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsolutely free from any trace of fusil or other imunous impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. , , ■ I have the honour to be, «c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria.
