I > stimonials can |be seen on application to the Proprieto at his residence, top of Wake ld-s '.. he s ronges recommendation for this mcdi cine own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members Of our community. Pb.3 est proof of this is to be found in tae large n un er of testimonials received by the maker hankfully acknowledging the restoration Of ealth experienced b using this panacea. At the reques o '.ho already cured, the proprietor now b j p he "Blood Restorer more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certain tha Itnis utilising of the gift 3 of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to sufl humanity, by curing long seated disea3 nd averting threatening sick- Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma t sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from tba deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartia trial. And «.hs Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicines wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. . lllmpurity and inactivity of the blood 1a tne cause of most sickness and pains.

N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arreats folds allays 1< vers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of tho won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failod to cure :— Rokeby-street,-Auckland. Ist December, 1877. 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 cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted 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. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood 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 a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, 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 enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-street. A UCKLAND PERMANENT CO ii. OPERATIVE BUILDING AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY. Office—93, Queen-street.
