IN the Auckland Evbning Stab of the , 27th Aptil .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 tbe vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owen, yrho has followed the seafaring profession for many years, and bad neter until leafing. Melbourne^x>n -April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe. nature, was suddenly seized op that date with violent pains in the baok. Since then he has been swung up in a hammock in the cabin ;quite:helpleßs. The vessel wae off>Kaiparaat noon on Thursday last, but tbe weather being thick and foggy, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auckland for medical assistance. I 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 ia 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> 1 residents will be Borry 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 1 my condition, except that the pain in my hands i 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 aiy visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchens' Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so talked about far and wide. Without much faith in it, I consented t'6 try it, but did not notice any good effect until I hid taken about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedl;. quickened, and I felt that my Btre»gth was coming back to me. I then ceased to take the medicine, and allowed nature to take its course, but finding my appetite going, 1 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 so. I can easily walk four miles a day without the slightest inc;nvenience. 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 wises, of rheumatism. W. M. OWEN. The agents will be happy to show original ' manuscripts of the several published teati/monials unent the Remedy, with scores of others not yet published. L. D. NATHAN & CO., Auckland. (Copy.) MrD. B. Chishoim, Agent for Mr Hitchbnb.—Dear Sir,—lt is with heartI felt.ttianks that I am able to endorse the ■sterling qualities of Mr Hitchens's invaluable Blood Restorer. Being induced by Mr Disher, who Bpoke in eulogistic terms of its merits, to place my wife (wbo was Buffering very acutely with rheumatic fever) under its treatment, I am very happy to state the medicine has acted quite magical. After a few dose? pain entirely ceased, and she is making rapid progress^ and is now enabled to roßume 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 oyerlooVthM) specific, which is inestimable.—Believe mej yours very sincerely, Thomas Bbowk, Brittania Heights, Nelson. .
