Medical MOKE TESTIMONY! KOT A. ' SURPRISING CURE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITOHENS'; BLOOD pESTOEEB HAS DONE. IN the Auckland EvenikgStab 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 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 the uei.faring profesaion for many years, and had never until learing Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe 1 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 yecterday morning, and Dr. Mooro 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 ion shore. Captain Owen is well known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of his offliction." : ,:••: ; Eeferring to above, Captain Owen ha 3 this dny (Ist December) stated: " After being 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 sffect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual linking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitcbens' Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so talked about far'aud'wide. Without much faith in it, I consented to try it, but did not notice any good effect until I lid taken about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedly quickened, and I felt that my strength nas coming back to me. I then ceased. to take the mo licine, and allowed nature to take its course, but finding my appetite going, I stimulated it by small doses of tho .Restorer, using no other modi* cine, but-applying the Ointment freely. By degreos my wnole system seemed to be invigorated j a:id now, after a treutment of six months, I am able to resume charge of my vessel, aud am only waiting her arrival in port to do 80. I can easily walk four ru led a day without the slightest inonvenience. I consider my friend's suggestion!saved my life, and that ibis a duty thut I should publicly testify to the extraordinary power of Hitohen's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumatism. 1 W.

L. D. NATHAN &v CO., ...■ ; AuckUtnd. (Copy.) Mr D. B. Chibhoxm, Agent for Mr HiTCHESS.—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 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 Buffering not to overlook this specific, which is inestimable.—Believe me, yours very sincerely, Thomas BbowN, Brittania Heights, Nelson.
