T OCAL TESTIMONY. PULVERMACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail mente, such as Indigestion Liver Complaißls Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c, &c, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and It must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deflciensy, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. " Dear Sir, —I have been Ja great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J years I have not been free from it for one minute; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in' which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments In reference to Palvermacher'a Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has been something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, aad perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. " 1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. "G.

HITCHEN' CELEBKATED BLOOD RESTORER. A NEVEU-FAILINU REMEDY. For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, ana Lumbago, likewise cures 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.

R.Gillman, Onehunga. . iSffS 11 stimonials can jbe seen on application to the Proprietor at his residence, top of Wake lie.d-EiJtci ' lie stronges recommendation for this medi cine own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. Th». est proof of thiß is to be found in frae large n iin er oftestimonials received by the maker, hankfullv acknowledging the restoration of calth experienced b using this panacea. At the requrs (• rho already cured, the nroprietor now b j j he "Blood Restorer more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certai" hop < that tnis utilising of the gilts of mercif Providence will prove a great blessing to sufl humanity, by curing long seated diseas nd averting threatening sick n6lhe wan of a reliable remedy for Rheuma *■ sni, &c. has longj 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 cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from tnat deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis tinctlyunderstood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c are due entirely to the medicine s wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cieansmg, puri fying, and in vigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Mood is tn cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked 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 en 'N.B^-Coiintry Settlers will find in Hitchens' 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. No household should be MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-fltreet, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr.HITCHKNS,— , . Dear Sir,—l have to thank yon very 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 illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted 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 back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-atreet. 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 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. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-street. LUE POST DINING ROOMS, LOWER QUEBN STREET, NEXT METROPOLITAN HOTEL.
