No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature, HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Euson. Chemist, Queer-street: Mr A.

It .Gillman, Ouehunga, T i stimonials can be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommend ion for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on -well-known and much respected members of our comm'ini.;. . The b-sst .roof of this 13 to be found in the large numbsr of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration oi hi-lth experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Itestorer' more prominently before the Public, in the sure aud certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long r-eated diseases and averting threatening sic-_.- The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, Sec, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While otner means and medicine have been proving taeru selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel ringers of disease, and treeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorera fair and impartial trial. And '.->3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly uiui.r.tood that the cures of Rheumatism. &c. are due entirely to tho medicine's wonder ful effect upon tho blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. IniDurity and inactivity of the Mood is the cause of most sicklies.; and pains. After a course of this medicine, biood vessels—which have become, a3 it were, choked up with unnealtuy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet lif.-biood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing Ln its course vigour and strength to the en ire =ystern. . N.B,— Country Settlers vail find in llucl.ev.s Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F; vers, and builds up tis;.-system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should he with out it. . ~ ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURL. THE following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the- blood Restorer, after ah other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland. Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— , Dear sir,—l have to thank you \cry 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 ilinessand cure. Home 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 or" the medicine and its cares. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's addr._3, a Chemist in Weliesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured 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 result of tiie trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were t?.ken, 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. Walter Knox.
