Th' 3 est nroof of this is to be found in taa large n i<n er of testimonials received by the maker, hankfully acknowledging the restoration of ealth experienced b using this panacea. At the reques o r-ho already cured, the proprietor now big■. 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 sun humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick ness Ihewan of a reliable remedy for Itheuma *■ sm, &c. has long been; felt as one of the greatest calamities of tho age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel lingers 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 '.h-3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctlyundtfr jtood 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 nlood is the 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 tire system. , . ' . , N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchcns 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 he without it. ' ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. TnE following is striking evidence of the won derful effects "of the Blood. Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Kitchens. — 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 fltted 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 was of a backdate, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wsllesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchena' 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 spito 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 tiken, 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. Youra every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-street.
