The fame of the Medicine is spreading over the Austra lian Colonies,—such: pleasing notoriety being easily explained by the multitude of . cures effected, and the special fact, that "ambn&r the cases cured were several suffering Australian gentlemen who were visiting Auckland,, who fill high positions, and have used their influence, in making known the virtues of the BLOOD.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. extraobdinaby cube of an auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, op Long-standing Rheumatibm. Auokland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and moat acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and wa3 unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me- I trie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob tatning any reltef whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con eiderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I [may say that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried ao many specifics without receiving the sllghest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial,! carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my 'former self again—restored to health and vigour, and; able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worso case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a long time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell mo it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures toeendyon this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of pesuading other suffered to go and do likewise. I Bhall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have Mie more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, air, yours gratefully, Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. LADIES, TAKE, NOTE OF THIS :- Two Important points should not be lost Bight of in selecting a Sewing Machine. First: Be not misled by long and extravagant pnffs in the papers about Machines which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd! Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from bia intimate knowledge of Sewin<? Mechanism, can i oufldently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras. 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.

I have very much pleasure fin announcing to the Public of Auckland that in addition to the 25 CASES OF MEN'S BOY'S, AND YOUTH'S FASHIONABLE READY-MADE CLOTHING by the Glenlora, I have just unpacked 12 cases more of the same goods, ox Loch Fleet. They were made by the Bkst Wkst End op London Tailors according to my own directions to suit the requirements of this market, and will be found to be the FINEST SAMPLE OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It is not my custom (as is very often done by pome shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelves last. year's Goods, and advertise them as "New" Stock." I would specially call the attention of parents and guardians to the shipment of JUVENILE SUITS. Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both as regards style and matorial, has caused more than half of them to be sold. Those therefore who wish to sco the rising generation " smartly dressed" for the Holidays, should without delay pay a visit to my establishment. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. «r special. ! Among the Shipment will be found also EXTRA LARGE Men's Trousers and Vests—a want which was hitherto much felt. . : ; PRICES. ' ;, - As I have to send Home shortly a large sum of Money to secure my next Winter Stock (at the usual largo discount for cash), I can con fidently assure the public that the whole shipment will be sold at Buch low figures' as is: not likely to occur again for some time. "Small Profits and Quick Returns" has always been my motto, and this is the secret of my business still increasing. ~;. : TOWN AND COUNTRY PEOPLE, Look in at the OLD SHOP before going elsewhere. Straw Hats, Caps, Shirts, Dust Coats, Soarves, Ties, &c, in endless variety. Note the Old Address :— J« Levy, MONSTER CLOTHING MART, 210, QUEEN-STREET Opposite McArthur's New Buildings. JJ O O T S!
