We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that thitt apirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution.

Sir,—l have tl«e. honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by yon to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitabls for medical or economic p»r poees.

For all Skin Deseases, Kheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronio Dysentry, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. SokPby Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street • Mr A. G Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-streetj Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell ; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoriarstreet: Mr. B allwell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwbll, and T. R .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can! he seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake fleld-street. Tho strongest recoramendn on for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth aa shewn by the marvellous cures effected 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 by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &,c, has long been f. It as one of the greatest calamities of the a.a>. 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 Restorera fair and impartial trial. And _ s Praprietor would have it dis tinctly und _r_tood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon tho blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood 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- N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Golds, allays Feverc, 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 the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failod to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. 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 witb pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted hy 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, 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 us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we Celt 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 lealth; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were it hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, md enable me once more to attend to my aousehold duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens. Upper Wakefleld-stroet pHEAP TIMBER ! CHEAP TIMBER The Undersigned are Belling SASHES JOORS and MOULDINGS at the VERY -OWEST RATES.
