At the reques o «iio already cured, the proprietor now b ,g he "Blood Restorer, more proniinen ore the Public, in the sure certain ' tha Itnis utilising of the gifts of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to sufi humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick ness Ihe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma r sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. (While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel Angers 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 '.ha Praprietor Avould have it dis tinctly unddt^tood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon tho blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it Avere, choked up Avith unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour aud strength to the en ire system. ..,„,. ~ ~ • N.B,—Country Settlers will find m Hitcncns Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests i 'olds, allays F vers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be Avithout it. _ _• ~ ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of tho "on dc-l'ul effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failod to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— , - , Dear Sir,—l nave to thank yon very much for the benefit I havo received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and euro. 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 the1 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 tho medicine, that we felt there was some spite at Avork, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a Aveek, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, 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 Wakefleld-street.

Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy j any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail ments, 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 Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes natures most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. \ Thirty years' successful experiencehas proved the marvellous remedial poAvers of these appli ances, oven in cases defying ordinap_y treat ment. The following is, spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,-1 have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J 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 been 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 aro perfectly at liberty to Eublish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may c the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. " l am, yours truly. "JAMES SLATOR. "G.
