Medical MOKE TESTIMONY! NOT A SURPRISING CURE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITOHETSTS' ■pLOOD TJESTOREB HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evening Stab of the £7th April last appeared the following local, which explains itself:— "The.brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Xaipara, put into harbour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owt-n, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owen, who has followed the cc faring profes ion for many years, and had never until lea ring Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature., was suddenly seized on that d*te 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 fogey, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auckland for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yesterday morning, and Dr. Moore having been 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 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 day (Ist; December) stated: " After being treated for about five weeks by two medical men successively, with very little alteration in j 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 uiy visiting friends suggested that 1 should try what Hitchena' Blood Restorer would do, as it was being ao talked abouc far aid wide. Without much fail h in it, I. consented to try it, but did not noike any good eflvct until I hd 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 me.iicine, 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 waole syatetn seemed to be invigorated ; and now, after a treatment of cii 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 in les 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 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. B. Chishoim, Agent for Mr HlTOHEefS.—Dear Sir,—lt is with heartfelt 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 placemy wife (who was suffering very acutely,with rheumatic fever) under its treatment, I am very happy, tostate the, medicine has acted quite magical. After a few doses pain entirely ceased, and she is making ra^id progress, and is now enabled to resume her household duties. Acting so beneficially, 1 would not be, without euch a valuable remedy, and should imprest upon those who are similarly Buffering not to overlook this specific, wbich is inestimable.—Believe me, youra very sincerely, ThuMab Bbowk, Brittania Heights, Nelson.
