Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much fc the benefit I have received through using yo_ valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning an guidance to others, would make known th particulars of my illness and cure. Some montl a:;o 1 was taken ill with pains in the back, SU] posed to be lumbago. So far from being ben* titled by the attendance of medical men, I gre1 rapidly worse, and the pain became agonisinj One day my husband had in his hand a port iv of an old Auckland EVENING STAR, containin your professional announcement of themedicin and its cures. The paper was of a back dat; and tho ad vertised agent's address, a Chemist i Wellesley-street. My husband applied to hii for Hitchens* Blood Restorer, but the Chemis used such illnatured remarks to dissut-.do n from testing the viitue of the medicine, that w felt there was some spite at work, and dete mined more than ever to give it a trial. Th pleasing result of tho trial was, that ailt taking it a week, I feit wonderful relief; befoi many buttles wore taken, I was not onl liberated from a sick room, but felt in peifcc health; appetite was restored, strength r< gained and I liuyo to thank God that you wer at hand to provide the means of my rapid oun and enable me .once more to attend to in household duties.
