r OUC A L TE«T 1M U N V PULVEKM AC M X LI'S >ATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon he normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency iaereof in the system manifests itself, according :o the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail uenis, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility Femsle Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. Szc, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMaCHER'3 GALTAMO CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is] spontaneous and remark " Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6i years i have not been free from it for one minute : and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has seen something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may he the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, "James Slatok. " G.

At the renuts t> '.ho already cured, the proprietor now h , y he "Jlloo'd Kestorer" mo; c prominen ore the Pub'.io, in the sure cm tain tlia itnis utilising of the gifts of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to sull humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick nes Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma »■ sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means aiid 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 Restorer a fair and impartia trial. And ''?i Praprietor would have it dis tinctly undorjtood 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 Hood is the cause of most sickness and pains. A Her a course of this medicine, blood vepsels—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 ire system. N.B.—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Do< tor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIKACUf.OUS 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, 1577. 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 fltted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my huaband 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 Torn testing the virtue of the medicine, that we elt 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 token, 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 Kkox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-straet lyOTiuE OF REM OVA L.
