Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had ..Buffered 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 sleep at night, and waa 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 tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any reliaf whatever. The sum I spent in'medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I 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 hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite • un solicited oh your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, _, Henry Maiden. To H.SE. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. a.PBOU.I NOTICE. The business hitherto carried on by Messrs.
