Medical MOEE TESTIMONY! NOT A SUEFEISING CUBE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITCHENS' TDLOOD TJEST OB E E HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evening Star of the 27th April last appeared the following local, which explains itself:— " The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Eaipara, putinto harbour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owpn, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part, of the vojage. Captain Owen, who has followed the eeitfaring profession for many years, and had nerer until learing Melbourne ori April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe 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 1 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, vieited 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 dtvy (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 sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my 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 to try it, but did not notice any good effect until I-utid 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 medicine, and allowed nature to take its course, but finding my appetite going, I stimulated it by email 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 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 Kitchen's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumatism. ■ W. M. OWEN. The agents will be happy to show 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. R. Chisholm, Agent for Mr Hitchens.—Dear Sir,—lt is with heart--5 felt thanks that I am able to endorse the sterliag qualities of Mr Hitchens's invaluable Blood Restorer. Being induced by Mr Disher, who spoke in eulogistic terms of its merits, to place ray wife (who was suffering very acutely with rheumatic fever) under its treatment, I am very happy to state the medicine has acted quite magical. After a few doses pain ontirely 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 remody, and should impress upon those who are similarly suffering not to overlook this specific, which is inestimable.—Believe me, yours very sincerely, Thomas Bbown, Brittania Heights, Nelson.
