Th 3. es>t proof of this is to be found in taa large n iin or of testimonials received by the maker, hankfully acknowledging the restoration of ealth exnerienced b using this panacea. At the'reoufs o 'ho already cured, the proprietor now b j p he "Blood Restorer more prominen ' ore the Public, in the sure certain hoy t that tnis utilising of the guts of mercif Providence will prove a great blessing to suft humanity, by curing long seated discus nd averting threatening sick- Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rhcuma t sin, &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 Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c . are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Wood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of thi3 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 tire system. , ._.. .

Tjik following is striking evidence of the won dc-ful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all o;her means have failed 10 cure :— Rokeby-stree', Auoklann. Ist December, 1577. Mr. Hitciiexs,— , 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 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 wns of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in \v'3lles!cy-street. My husband applied to him for Kitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks 19 diasuadc u.-j from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to givo it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief ; before many bottles were tnken, 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 ol my rapid cure. and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakelield-strect. A MERICAN SEWING MACHINES J-^_ the largest sale ix australia. Kkuuced Piuce List. "TUB HOME" SHUTTLE-LOCK-STITCH.

PULVEKMACHEII'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTEUIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency taereof in the system manifests it-elf, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men s, such us Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout * Constipation Local Debility General Debility Fem«le 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 nature's most congenial curative in the ailments refened to, enibodjing a host of remedies in one. Thirty years'successful exoeTlenco has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. Tho following is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been 5a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for tho last 6i 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 tuking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has ■ con 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, 1 feel almost like finother 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 Slatou." "G.
