Th. est proof of this is to be found in the large n im er of testimonials received by the maker hankfully acknowledging the restoration of ealth experienced b using this panacea. At the reaurs o Mio already cured, the proprietor now b jj? he "Blood Restorer" more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certain tha Itnis utilising of the gifts of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to stiff humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening slck nes Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma *• sm, &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 impartia trial. And '..3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly und<-_tood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entiiely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vet _els—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- H-e system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fever* and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. • ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE.

Mr. Hitchens.— 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 iv the back sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene htted _y 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, -_ ,ii , advertised agent's address, a Chemist in \. ellesley-street. My husband applied to bim 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, w ir »,. v Mbs* Wa"*er Knox. To Mr. Hitchens. Upper Wakefleld-straet ■JO" OTi v_: OP REMOVAL.
