Medical MORE TESTIMONY! NOT A BDEPEISING CUKE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT ! HITCHENS' "D L O O D f> E STOfiEE 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 yeßterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owen, master of tbe vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owen, who has followed the seafaring profession for many years, and had neveruut.il lea ring Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe i 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 Kaiparaat 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 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 I Owen is weir known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of hie affliction."

Beferring to above, Captain Owen has this day (Ist December) stated: " After being treated for aboub &ye. weeks by two medical men successively, with very little alteration in my condition, except that the pain in my handß and back w,as made somewhat easier through the affect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not 1 far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchehs' 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 j about the third or fourth bottle, when my I appetite decidedly quickened, and L,jfeltj 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, and am only waiting her arrival in port to do bo. I can easily walk four m 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 ov.er the severest cases of rheumatism. W. M. OWEN. The agents will be happy to sh w original manusoripts ,of the several published testimonials anent the Remedy, with scores of• others not yet published. L. # NATHAN,& Op;, •'""'■ Auckland.
