Medical MOKE TESTIMONY! NOT A BUEPEISING CURE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT HITOHENS* T) L O O D TjESTOfiEE HAS DONE. IN the Auckland Evbnin& Star 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 Toyage. Captain Owen, who has followed the seafaring profession for many years, and had never until lea ring Melbourne on 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 Kaipara at 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 euffering from a species of rheumatism of a Berere 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."

j Eeferring 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 effect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that tfeld 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 hid 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, 1 stimulated it by small doses of the .Restorer, using no other medicine, but applying the Ointment freely. By degrees my whole eystem 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 Hitchen'e Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumatism.

W. M. OWEN. The agents will be happy to show original manuscripts of the aeverul published testimonials anent the Remody, with scores of others not yet published. L. D. NATHAN & CO., Auckland. (Copy.) Mr D. B. Chisholm, Agent for Mr Hitchbks.—Dear Sir,-—lt is with heartfelt thanks that I am able to endorse the sterling qualities of Mr Hitchens's invaluable Blood Restorer. Being induced by Mr Disher, who opoke 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 doaes 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 is inestimable. —Believe me, yours very sincerely, Thomas Bbowk, Brittania Heights, Nelson. .
