Medical MOKE TESTIMONY! NOT A SURPRISING CURB TO THOSE ■WHO KNOW WHAT . HITGHENB' "D L O O D TjESTO.iEE HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evening Stab of the 27fch April last appeared the following local, which explains itself:— "The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into harbour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owen, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owen, who has followed tho-ooi/ariirg^-profcs«ioii""for-n3any years, and had never until leafing Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that date with violent pains in the back. Since then he haß been swung up in a hammock in the cabin quite helpless. The vessel was off Kaipara at noon on Thursday last, but the weather being thick and foggy, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auckland for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yesterday morning, and Dr. Moore having beea sent for, visited Captain Owen, and gave instructions to the mate of the vessel regarding treatment. The invalid is suffering from a species of rheumatism of a severe, nature,:; and the doctor con? siders it ad viiable to effect a partial recovery before attempting the removal of his patient to niore suitable quarters on shore* Captain Owen is well known in Auckland, and many residents will bo sorry to learn of his affliction." Eeferring to above/Captain Owen has this day (lat December) stated: " After being J treated for about five weeks by two medical men successively, with very little alteration in my condition, except that the pain in my hands and back was made somewhat easier through the affect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchens' Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so talked about far and wide. Without much faith in it, I consented to try it, but did not notice any good effect until I h;sd taken about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedly quickened, and I felt that my strength-was coming back to me. I then ceased 'to take the medicine, and allowed nature to take its course, but finding my appetite going, I stimulated it by small doses of the Restorer, using no other medicine, but applying the Ointment freely. By degrees my whole system seemed to* be invigorated ; and now, after a treatment of six months, I am able to resume charge of my vessel, und am only waiting her arrival in port to do so. I can easily, walk four miles a day without the slightest inconvenience. I consider my friend's suggestion saved my-life, and that it is a duty that I should publicly testify to the extraordinary power of Hitchen's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumatism. W. M. OWEN. The agents will be happy to eh i w original manuscripts of the several published testimonials anent the Eemedy, with scores of others not yet^published. L. D. NATHAN & CO., • Auckland. (Copy.) MrD. R. Chishoim, Agent for Mr Hitchens.—Dear Sir,—lt is with heartfell; thanks that I am able to endorse the sterling qualities of Mr Hitchens's invaluable Blood Restorer. Being induced by Mr Disher, who spoke in eulogistic terms of its merits, to place my wife (who was suffering very acutely with rheumatic fever) under its treatment, I am very happy to state the medicine hits acted quite magical. After a few doses pain entirely ceaaed, and she is making rapid progress, and is now enabled to resume her household duties'. Acting so beneficially, 1 would not be without such a valuable remedy, and should impress upon those who are similarly suffering not to overlook this Bpecific, which iB inestimable^—Believe me, youra very sincerely, TKOMA3 Ebown, Brittania Heightß, Nelson.
