While other means and medicine haA-c been proving them selves vain and delusiA-e this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are noAV requested to clve the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor Avould 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 in vigorating system. Impurity and inactiA-ity of the blood is th cau»e of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—Avhich have become, as it Avere, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, floAving naturally along, and. impart ing in its course arigour and strength to the en • tire system. __^ t , N.B,— Country Settlers Avill find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arre-ts folds, allays Fever*, 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 Avon derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other mean 3 haA'e failed to cure :— Rokeby-streer, Aucklana, Ist December, 1877. Mr. HiTcnENS,— , , Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have receiA-ed through using your a-aluable Blood Restorer, and as a Avarning 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 Evbning Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The oaper Avas 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 U3 from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there Avas some spite at Avork, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial Avas, that after taking it a week, I felt Avonderful relief; before many bottles were t-ken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite Avas restored, strength re gained, and I haA-e to thank God that you -were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enablo me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-street. •____M&i. -v c&ffip^.'- P-w -a-a^^^^^-^T^^-^^S THE GREATEST "WONDER OF MODERN TIMES.
