For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all. its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cares Chronic Dysentry, and* is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Edson; Chemist, Queen-street; Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robinson', Chemist, Par rel ; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street: Mr. Eallwell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwell, and T. R .Giluvian, Onehuaga. Ti- stimonials can be seen on application to the Proprietor, at bis residence, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendation for this-medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the niarvelious cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in tas large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of hsalth experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings-the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will psrove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy, for Rheuma > tism, &c, has long been, felt- a*: 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.that deadly embrace. The people-are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a,fair •and.imparti& trial. And *.I>3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the Giires of Rheumatism^ &c. are due entirely, to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing,, puri fying, and invigorating sjstein. Impurity and-inactivity of the■ blood ia the cause of most sickness aad pains. After a course I of this " medicine, blood ve.«sels--wMch have become, as it were,-choked, up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pare scarlet, life-blood, flowing naliura!ly.along. and imparts ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system.
