Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years Resident, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir, —I hud suffered severely and most 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 was unable to He 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 injured. I believe I suffered the panga of Rheumatism and its attendant evilß in every shape and form, and my life was a burden to me. I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without obtaining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very considerable, 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 purchased your medicine; I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slightest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial I 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 vigor, and ahle to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse 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, 1 am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Biood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter is not written in vaiu. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite unsolicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any uae of this, —I, am, sir, yours gratefully, Henut Maidhn. To H. E. Hitchcns, Esq., Auckland. 82,
