Vital energy, it is well known, depends iipon the normal functions of the nervo-eleot.no fluid governing the whole economy; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety oi.' troublesome ail ment s» such as . Indigestion Liver Complains Neuralgia Sciatica _ Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice A3thma Bronchiti3 Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Qont Constipation Local Debility General Debility Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no coniecture. but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC) CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host or remedies in one. , , Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli nces, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is; spontaneous and remark able:— " Auckland, November 26, lev i. "Dear Sir,-I have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 61 years I have not been free from it for one minute: ami to make things worse, about two years and nme months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time, since your ad veruse ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bauds, 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 NeuraUda 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 be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. " 1 am, yours truly, "James Slator.

At the reoufs o 'ho already cured, the proprietor now b if he "Blood Restorer" more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certain tha itnis utilising of the gifts of mere f Providence will prove a great blessing to sufl ; humanity, by curing long seated discus nd averting threatening sick nes lhe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma r sin, &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 fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from thai deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartia trial. And '.i>3 Proprietor would have it dis tinctly under Jtood 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 Mood is the cause of most sickness and pulns. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—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 Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F<-ven», and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS 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, 1877. 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 fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain bocame 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 lsed such illnatured remarks to dissuade us Tom testing the virtue of the- medicine, that we felt 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 niany 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, rr ™ tt-* v Mbs' Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-straet J^OTiuE OF REM OV A L." T^^.
