TESTIMONIALS can!bo seen on application to the. Proprietor, at hia residece, top of Wake field-street. Tho strongest recommondn on for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth as shewn by tho marvellous cures eirected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of health experienced hy using this panacea. At tho request of those a'ready cured, the proprietor now brinj. > the ' Blood Restorer" moro prominently before the fublic, in the sure and certain hopo that this utilising of the gifts of a morciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases 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 the age. While other means and medicine havo been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing tho cruel dngers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give tho Blood Restorera fair and impartial trial. And '.I>3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly under jtood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. aro due entirely to tbo medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the hlood is the cause of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood veHsels—which have become, as it wero, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhtlirant, 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 tho Doctor. It arroPts Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should bo without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of tho won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to euro :— Rokeby-streot, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens.— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for tho bonedt 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 euro. 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, 1 grew rapidly worse, and tho pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Stak. containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and tho 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 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, Mbs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens. Upper Wakefleld-stroet MCKENZIE & ROSS, Have on Sale.
