1" ocal testimony pulvermacher's patent Galvanic chalN 7 bands, belts, and batteeies (RECENTLY IMPROVED). .. Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electrio, fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail ments, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia . Sciatica Deafness Writers-Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy ' Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility Female Complaints! Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c, &c, &c. This is no coniecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes natures most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is] spontaneous andYemark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. "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 been 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 Eublish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may c the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. " 1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. ..; " G.

Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par neH : Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. E allwell, Otahuhu ; Mr. Fallwell, T. R .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can!be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake field-street. „ , ... ~ The strongest rocommendn on for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of hoalth experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings tho "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. . , ___ The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &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 that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorera fair and impartial trial. And '.he Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon tho blood, by its cleansing, pun fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. . _ N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be WANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the 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 tho 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 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. 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 spito at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it atrial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful rehef; before many bottles were Ukcn, I w,as 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.
