. Medical MOEE TESTIMONY! NOT A SURPRISING CURB TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHA.T HITOHENS' T) L O O D T> E STOB E E HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evening Stab of the 27th April last appeared the following local,.which explains itself:— " The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into harbour yesterday cnorning to obtain medical aid for Captain Ow. n, maister of the vessel, who has bt-en very unwell during the laiter part of the TOjHge. Captain Owen, who has followed the cc faring profes ion for many years, and had never uutil learing Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that dote with violent pains in the back. Since then be has been swung up in a hammock in the cabin .quite helpless.'.. The veeeel 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 ye terday morning, and Dr. Moore having been sent for, visited (Japtain Owen, and gave instructions to the mate of the vessel regarding tr. af.tnenfc. Tlie invalid ia suffering from a species of rheumatism of a s.evere nature," and the doctor considers 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 d«y (Ist December) stated: "After being treated for about five weeks by ; two medical men successively, with very Hti.le alteration in my condition, except that the pain in my hands j and.back was made somewhat easier through the effect of the galvanic battery, I felt a 1 gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that: 1 should try what Hitebe'ns' Blood Restorer would do, as it was beingi 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 d taken about the ttiird 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/wttole 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 so. I can easily walk four m lea a flay without the 'slightest ioonvenience. 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 Hitcheu's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumatism. W. M. OWEN. The agents will bo happy to sh w original manuscripts. of the several published testimonials ahent the Remedy, with scores of others not yet published. l. d. Nathan & CO., Auckland. (Copy.)
