For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronic 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. Sold'by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street; Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell ; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. lallwell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwell, and T. R .Gillman, Onehunga. T k stimonials can Ibe aeen on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake fleld-street. The strongest recommendn on for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth as 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 iv 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, Sco„ has long been' felt as ono 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 Restorera fair and impartial trial. And *.he 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 the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood ia the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of thia medicine, blood vepsels—which have become, as it wero, 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 tihe en ire system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchenß Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-atreet, 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 with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted 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 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 snch illnatured remarks to dissuade ua 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, * Mrs. Walter Knox.

Wo have subieeted 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 this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It; possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Har„s Schiedam Rohnaops is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by yon to me 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 Bamples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses.
