'_ he stronges recommendation for this mcdi j cine own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known anc much respected members of our community Th 3 est proof of this is to be found in the large n liner of testimonials received by the maker hankfully acknowledging the restoration o: ealth experienced b using this panacea. At the reques o .ho already cured, th< proprietor now b if ihe "Blood Restorer' more prominen efore the Public, in the sun certain hope that this utilising of the gifts - of mercif Providence will prove a greai blessing to suft n humanity, by curing long s seated di3eas nd averting threatening sick ness Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma * sin, Sec. has long been felt as one of the 1 greatest calamities of the age. While othei means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has beer silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give tho Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis ■ tinctly understood 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 in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is th 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 svstcin N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchens' - 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-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 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 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 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. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-street.
