Medical MOEE TESTIMONY BTOX A ' , SUEPEIfcING CUEE \, WHO KNOW WHAT HITCH ENS* TILOOP T>,E S TO REE HAS DONE. V \ IN the Kvbkin& Star of the 27th April last appeared the following local, which explains itoelf:— , •.. f';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, whohas^ followed the cc» faring profession for many years, and had never until leafing Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature; Was suddenly seized on that date with violent paiuß 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 ou Thursday last, but the weather being thick and foggy, it wag deemed advisable to comm on to Auckland for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yeßtefday 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 Owen is well .known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry, to learn of his affliction." ;'; '' ■ -'■ " •'; ' ; ;•'■ ;> -; '•■•' '■'■ Referring to above, Captain Owen has this jjoUyf (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 eMier 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 Hitohens' 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 fcafeen 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 small doses of the Restorer, using no other medicine, but 'applying the Ointment freely. By degrees my whole system 1 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 1 that I should publicly testify to the extraordinary power of Hitchen's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of, rheumatism.

Being induced by Mr Diaher, 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 remedy, and should impress upon those who are similarly suffering not to overlook this specific, which —Believe mo, yours very sincerely, Thomas Bbown, Brittania Heights, Nelson.
