Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-Street; Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. I< allavell, Otahuhu ; Mr. Falt.avell, and T. It .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can bo seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake flold-street. The strongest recommend ion for this medi cine is iUj own intrinsic wortn> an shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The brwt proof of this is to be found in the largo number of testimonials roceiA'ed by the maker thankfully aol.nowloclKmg the restoration of health experienced l>y using this panacea. At tho request of those already cursd, tho proprietor now brings the "Wood Restorer" more prominently before tho 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 discuses and averting threatening sick ness. Tho want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of tho ago. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and dolußive 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 Rcstorera fair and impartial trial. And '.h3 Proprietor would have it dis tinctly uud-r_tood that the cures of Rheumatism &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder, ful effect upon tho blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity Of the blood is th c 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 without it. ANOTHER 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 a-aluable 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 bo lumbago. So far from being bene litted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and tho 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 Wollesley-strect. 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.

WATERS: Sir,—l h_Ve much pleasure in informing you, that after having made a very careful analysis of various samples of sweetmeats manufactured by you, I find that they are free from all adulteration, and that the colouring matters are quite innocuous. With regard to the Chocolate, I And that it is quite equal to the best English or French prepara tions; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of diet for invalids, especially those suffering from an impaired digestion.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, Ja_it_s"M, Tunny, Provincial Analyst.
