UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. *> Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 yeahs resident, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .sufferedtrseverely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exorcise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and waa unable to lie except in one poaition. Day and night I was fuil 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 relief whatever. The sum-1 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, 1 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 hours, if occasion requires. I am sure .you have never had a worsa 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 on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, Hbnry Maiden. To 8...8. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. ~ R.
