The want of a reliable romrdy for Rhenma tism, Sec, has lonx 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 crnel fingers of disease, aaid freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to tavtj the r-ilocl Uc-atorera fair and impartial trial. And '>•; Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism &c. arc due entirely to the medicine's wonder lul ettect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puft fyinL;, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity; of ihe blood is the ca'iso of most sickness and pains. Aftera course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, aa it were, chok?d 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 eiv ire system. N.B,—-Country Settlers will find in Hitches?''' Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the. Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. JSio household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. Ths following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Wood 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 tor 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 illnesß 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 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 backdate, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-streot. My husband applied to him' for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnaturcd remarks to dissuade us! from 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. Tho pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, 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. W&LTER ENOX.
