TES In fact by its uso tho Moat Malignant of Tropical Fevers have been ejected from tho Human System, and by Its aid Dying, Fever-stricken Men have been, as it were, RAISED FROM THE DEAD ! As is shown by the following interesting TALE OF THE PACIFIC! A TALE OF THE PACIFIC. Win. Opporman, Esq., a wealthy Island trader, was for pome months lying ill at Happemamma, an island of the KingsmUl Grouc, in the Pacific. He had bscn seized with rheumatic fevor, which was followed by complicated disorders of a ter ribly severe nature, assuming the form of a, specie- of palsy never heforo known. Tho suf ferer's limbs swelled, tho legs lost all sensibility to pain ; tho foot could he wrenched round or tho Bkin pierced with a lanco without inflicting the olightes. suffering. Tho sick man was evi dently unconscious of his liavim? legs, and his bruin wa' seriously affected as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state ho was kindly brough from th« is ands to Auckland by Mr 11. Hender son in tho schooner Coionet. Captain Moellcr and, being a German, he was received by the German Consul, G. Yon der Heydc, Esq., and placed in tho District Hospital, where he re ceived treatment for three weeks with no indica tion of improvement, hi* case being pronounced by ono and all a most hopeless one. The captain of the Coronet, knowing that extraordinary cures had been cll'ected by the uso of Iliteliens' Celebrated Blood Restorer requested tho proprietor of tho Blood Restorer to take the case in hand, and a contract was catered into of "No cure, uo pay." Mr Hitchens proceeded to the Hospital, examined the invalid and found him in an apparently dying stato with scarcely a spark of life left. Mr Hitchons ordered the sulFering man to be removed to his (Mr H.'f-) private residence, where his wants could personally ho attended to by Mr Hitchens The latter administered the medicine (tho Blood Restoror) and used the ointment freely. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing tho caso beyond tho power of man to effect a euro. How ever, after six weeks tho effect of the medicino became wonderfully apparent. The Blood Restorer had acted steadily but Buroly on tho blood; the deadly impurities were gradually eliminated from the system until the stream of lite flowed unchecked in Its natural channels over the entire man. Tho brain be came clear and active, and the limbs once again rejoiced in natural circulation, tho patient rising to his feet cured of diseases which had baffled the skill of leading phyticians, a living proof of the wonderful healing powers of Hitchens Celebrated Blood Restoror. TESTIMONIAL.] Auckland, N.Z. To H. A. H. Hitchons. Esq. Before leaving Auckland on my return voyage to the Islands, I havo to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho surprising cure I havo received at your hands. Coming to Aueklnnd as I did a dylns: man, beiiiK palsied and generally unconEcioiia, and hoarin-; from others that no hopo of recovery was held out by medical men, I look upon you now as tho preserver of my life. lam convinced that to you medicine alone is duo tho credit for my now being a living man. I bog to thank you most sincerely for the kind ness you have shewn me while staying in your house, and in conclusion would earnestly re commend sick people to use your Blood Restorer, as it is tho most extraordinary purifier of tho blood 1 over heard of, or met with in my travels.

A VALUABLE Medical Discovery M f Reuters Syrup (KCEK-l EEBTRAjn),) J i__ Is a mcdlcino that was discovered by old Numb B__btr_xx>, who had been occupied in sick rooms and with tho care of sick people, for over fifty years. It Is made purely and entirely of Plaints, Herbs 3 and -Root., and Is exceedingly agreeable and pleasant to both tho taste and smell, being warm, aromatic and epicy. It is a most thorough purge, cleaning out tho bowels without pain, and without nausea or sickening, It does not weaken, and leaver the system open andfrce.ncvcr dryingup thobowels ) afterwards, as every other purgo thnt wo know of does. It can bo given to Infanta and invalids with safety, and in every case of old or young, it is guaran teed to euro tho worst cases of constipation, indiges tion, and all diseases that adect thoetomacli and t bowels. It is, moreover, a powerful stimulator and If-IGORATOIi OP1 THE LIVER. Its cllectanpon tho blood and humors la something real ly astonishing, and 13 much more immediate and thorough than that of any other purifier yet disco. ---t, sred, having this great advantage, that when it has, 1, by its depurating powers, set fsee in the system tho '■ poisons of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Malignant Ulcerous Bores, and Cancerous gatherings or lumps, it instant ly carries them out of the body by purging the bow els. No other purillcr docs this; Willi all of them tho patient must tako pills, or some other equally * nauseous doso of physic, or if they do not, tin poison i remains in the system, and goes hack into the blood. T REUTERS LIFE SYRUP is exceedingly pleasant to take, needs no second doso to purgo tho bowels, and doeaall iho work required to effect com plete cure. 1 Barry's Pain Relief, Puroly vegetable; for use internally or externally. .
