Medical MOEE TE&TIMONY! NOT A SURPRISING CURE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITGEENS' "DLOOD TjE STOEEE HAS DONE, y : IN the Auckland Evening Stab of the 27th April last appeared the following local, which explaios itself:—'....;." "The. brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into harbour : yeßterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owen, toaster of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owen, who has followed the ee»faring profes-ion for many years, and hadnever until, lea ring 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 has 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 been Bent 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 serere nature;' and the doctor con* siders it advisable to effect a partial recovery before attempting the removal of his patient to more suitable quarters on shore. Captain Owen is well known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of his affliction." Referring to above, Captain Owen has this day (Ist December) stated: "After beingl 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 BUggeßted that I should try what Hitohens' 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 hid 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 mejicine, 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, and am only, waiting her arrival in port to do 50... I can,eapily,walk four m lea a day without, the slightest incjnTenience. 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 sh-w original manuscripts of the several' published testimonials anent the Remedy, with scores of others not yet published. - , l. d. Nathan & co., . Auckland. (Copy.) Mr D. R. Chibholm, Agent for Mr Hitc^enb.—Dear Sir,—lt is with, heart-, felt thanks that I am able to endorse the sterling qualities of Mr Hitcbens's intaluable Blood Restorer. : Being induced by Mr Disher, who spoke in eulogistic terms of its merits, to place my wife (wbo was' suffering very acutely with rbeuma'io fever) under its treatment, I am very happy to state the medicine has acted quite magical. After a few doses pain entirely ceased, 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 specific, which is inestimable. —Believe me, yours very sincerely, ThgXAS Shown, Brittania Heights, Nelson.
