EXTKAOUDINARY CURE OK AN AUCKLAND OMNIUU3 DIiIVEU, 21 YEAIIS RESIDENT, OF LONG-STANDING RIIEUMATI-M. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir, —I had suffered severely and, most acutely from Rheumatism for many years., brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weatherß in the exorcino of my calling. For years I could not sleep at ni^ht, and was unable to He 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 he .ilth was also materially iniured. I believe I suffered tho pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob- . taining any relief whatever. The _urn I spent in medicine and medical advice wa3 very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a. 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 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.l am changed from a mere wreck to ray* former self again—restored to health and vigour, aud able to drive - daily through all weathers, and at all hour 3, if occasion requires. I am sure I you have never had a worse case to deai 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 me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is •the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have tho more pleasure in giving this teatimoniol as it i. 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-. TdH. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. ■*■ ; TTriLLLAM m H O M A S ..:;'. MONUMENTAL, ].''."'
