Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standingrheumatism. .-. -...■■ Auckland, Atlerast2o; 1878. Dear Sir,—l had .suffered severely and most acutely ;from Rheumatism for many years, brought' on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise ,of my calling. For years I could not Bleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. I trie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief: whatever. I 'The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail,-until'l invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer; I (may say that I was not hopeful at -all when I pui- chased your medipine, I. had tried bo many specifics without. receiving :the., slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, X carried out my intention.1 !; adhered strictly to, the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere'wreck to my former self again—restored to health and' vigour, and: able to drive ■ daily through : all weathers,: and at all hourßy if occasion requires; I am sure yon; have never-had a'worso case to deaL with than^mine, atid although even now, in: bad weather^ I feel' my limbs -rather Stiff? after-sitting on■ the/box for a-lengtime,l am' a": living - example of. the almost' miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your, now * celebratjß'd - Blood" 'Restorer;: My Mends; tell me it is a tiiity"-! owe to my fallow creatures to.s.end.you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other suflerers togd and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter Is riot written in vain. J have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part.
