T»K following is striking evidence of the won clc'iul eflecls of the Wood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-strcet, Auckland, Ist December, 1577. Mr. Hitchens,— , . Dear Kir,—l have to thank you very much lor the benefit I have received through using your valuable Wood Restorer, and as a v. arning 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 lo be lumbago. So far from being bene lined 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 Ancklard 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 W'yllfsicy-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Wood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illuatured 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. The pleasing icsult of the trial was, that aftei 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 wa3 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.
