Mr. Hitches.,.— DeaiiSir,—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 particularsof nayillnessandcure. 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 atterwlance of medical men, I grew ' rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising.,' ' One day my husband had in his hand a portion : ' Df an old Auckland Evening Star, containing ' pour professional announcementof the medicine '■ ( md its cures. The paper was of a back date, _nd the advertised agetit's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him !or Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist ised such illnatured remarks tt dissuade us ■> rom testing the virtue of the medicine, th-t we ' elt there was some spite at work, and deter riiined more than ever to give it a trial. The 1 .leasing result of the trial w£.s, that after I akimg it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before c oan,sr bottles were t-ken, I was not only ibe .aXed from a sick room, but felt in perfect tealth; appetite was restored, strength re fined, and I have to thank God that you wero t hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, i nd enable me once more to attend to my t iOuseh<jiUl duties. • £ Yours every gratefully, \ _| „-, „' Mrs. Walter Knox.

T O CA L T E S # T IMON V PULVERALACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-el-Ctrlc fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency taereof in the system manifests it-oif. according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men a, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Los.-, of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout * Constipation Local Debility General Debility Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness Sec. • &-., &c. This is no coniucture. but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PL'LVERMaCHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments refened to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful exDerience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary tieat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 2C. 1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6. years I have not been free from it for one minute ; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been'dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has ' een something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly. "James Slator. "G.
