HITCHEN' CELEBRATED BLOOD RESTORER. A NEVEK-FAILING REMEDY. For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and 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. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. SlSold MrJ. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street. Mr A G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robin^OX, Chemist, Par nel Messrs Hill & Hudsos, Victoria-street; Mr. Ball well, Otahuhu ; Mr, Fall well, and T. R. Gillman, Onehunga. -.-'• I F..STIMONIALS can jbe seen on application to the Proprieto at his residence, top of Wako ld-£i:c tt '. be ttronges recommendation for this mcdi cine own intrinsic worth, a* shewn by the inarvel'ous cures effected on well-known aud much respected members of our cummutiicy. Tin est proof of this is to be found in tid large n im er of testimonials received by the maker, hankvully acknowlednins the restoration of c ilth experienced b using this panacea. At the reques o 'Lo already curyd, the proprietor now b ip he "Blood Restorer" more prominen ore the Public, in the sure certain hoy ' t! a it'iis utilising of the gifts of mercif Providence will prove a great blessing to Rnii humanity, bj' curing iqtig seated discus u& averting threatening sick ness Ihe wan of a. reliable remedy for Rhouma <■ sm, &c. has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves Viiin und delusive this remedy has been silentiy am: steadily unloosing the cruel lingers of disea-5 ■. and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The peopleare now requested to give tliC Blood Restorer a I'air and impartial trial. And the Proprietor would have it dis tinctly mirlerstood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are ilna entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impuri'y und inactivity of the Wood is the ca'ise 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 tire system. * N.B, —Country Settlers will find in Hitchens' Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F< vers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER 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-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchens,— Dear Sir, —I have to thank you 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 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 of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-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 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.

LO CA L T ESTIMO N V P U LV E X M A C H ER'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 taereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men s, sucha3 Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Kpiiepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility Fcni'ile Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c.. &c, &c. This is no coniycture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years'successful exDerience 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,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last CJ 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 Pulverruacher's 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 i een 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, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, "James Slatob. "G.
