Medical MOEE TE:>TIMONY! NOT A BUEPEISING CUEE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITOHENS' TjLOOD T) E S T O E E E HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evenixo- 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 yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owen, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the yojage. Captain Owen, wlio has followed the ee.'fariDg profession for many years, and had never until leaping Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that date with violent pains in the back. Sine© fchon he has been svung 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 formediealassistar.ee. 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 trt atment. 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* 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 my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchenß* 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 about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedlj 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 small doses of the .Restorer, using no other inedi- I cine, but applying the Ointment freely. By degrees my whole system seemed to be invigorated ; aud now, after a treatment of six months, I am able to rosume charge of my vessel, and am only waiting her arrival in port to do so. I can easily walk four m lea a day without the slightest inonvenienca. I consider my friend's suggestion Bayed 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 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. B. CHIBHOLM, Agent for Mr Hitchens.—Dear Sir, —It ia with heartfelt thanks that I am able to endorse the sterling qualities of Mr Hitchens's invaluable Blood Restorer. Being induced by Mr Dishor, who spoke in eulogistic terms of its merits, to place my 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 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 remody, and should impress upon thosa who are similarly suffering not to overlook thia specific, which is inestimable.—Believe me, yours very sincerely, Thomas Bbown, BrittaniaHeights, Nelson.
