MEDIOAL. TO INVALIDS AND OTHERS. NO MORE SUFFERING AND DISEASE. HERBS— NATURE'S ANTIDOTE. PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT Having reason to believe that his skill has been called in question, is induced more promiuently to bring under the notice of the public the results of his treatment during the oast twelve months. Unlike members of the so-called Faculty, he has no " diploma to kill " under cover of which he could shelter himself in the event of any mal-practice, or unskilful treatment, but has to depend solely upon the knowledge he gained from a prac tical experience extending over twenty years on the Continent, America, and Australia, the result of which is that he is enabled to diagnose at once the symptoms of the case submitted, and thus avoid prolonging the patient's ailment by "experimentalising, which is so frequently done at the cost of health and pocket. The advantages of the "Botanic" or "Vegetable System " over the Allopathic are well established, from the wider and safer scope for treatment it affords, and it is an admitted axiom that for every disease there is a remedy, which can be found in .Natures laboratory. Absolute specifics exist for every ailment tno human system is heir to, it the requisite knowledge of the virtue of the herbs applied aie known— a knowledge which is only to be acquired from study and long experience. Theoretical knowledge acquired from the works of Dr. Coffin and others is not only useless, but dangerous. The result is that the practice of Botany is brought into disrepute, and the system is condemned for what is really a want of knowledge on the part of the Herbalist. Professor Gusscott does not rely npon this "book knowledge," and prescribes according to a formula set down; but is enabled to decide the treatment from the symptoms. His medicines, moreover, are prepared solely from freshly-gathered or imported herbs, which necessarily thus possess their full strength and virtue. It common practice with many who do not understand their qualities to dispense "extracts" or "tinctures" which must from age lose their strength and efficacy, and consquently fail as a remedial agent. PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT would particularise a few complaints which he has successfully treated where the medical men had failed, and which had been pronounced chronic or incurable, viz -.-Rheumatism, dropsy, asthma, and bronchitis, for the cure of which he possesses testimonials of the most flatttering character. These acknowledgements have been given voluntarily, with a request in many instances that they should be made public in the interests of those similarly afflicted. In nearly every case the patients had been the " rounds of the doctors," as in candour he acknowledges is the case with many of those who finally consult him. No wonder, then, when cures are effected, the sufferers are grateful. Although he does not profess to trade on the "no cure no pay" system, he is willing to give a guarantee that if he doeß not effect a cure he will return the money charged. In proof of what he asserts, he would refer the public to the published testimonials of persons resident in Dunedin, and invites the perusal of many other testimonial m his possession Those suffering from nervous debility and other complaints will do well to consult him. Procrastinate not in the matter. The enemy is an insidious one, and its inroads should be arrested before it is too late. The strictest secresy may be relied upon. Processor Gusscott would impress upon those who may do him the honourto consult him that the utmost secrecy can be relied upon; moreover, from long experience, and a careful study of the human system, he can decide almost at a glance the diagnosis of a oase, thereby relieving the patient of a great deal of nervousness and hesitation. Professor Gusscott invites the confidence of either sex suffering from functional derangements, spermatorhcea, exhausting dreams, &o. jjar THE KING OF PAIN.— A specific that no family should be without. An effectual cure in Colic, Dyspepsia, Disordered Digestion, &c.

'ROFESSOE GUSSCOTT. To Professor Gusscott.— Dear Sir— l have suffered from liver complaint for the the last ten years, so much so that at times I have been unable to work. I tried several doctors, but obtained no relief. I happened to see your advertipement and the testimonial of a friend who had been cured by you, and was induced to consult you. Your treatment gave me almost instantaneous relief, my appetite waß restored, and the I jaundiced appearance of my complexion was recovered, and I am now perfectly well, thanks to your herbal treatment. — I am, &c., Alexander M'Lean, North-eaßt Valley. To Professor Gusscott— Dear Sir — I am happy to inform you that I am able to return home to Naseby, Mount Ida. I have been troubled with rheumatism off and on for the last ten years. I first got it on the West Coast. Since I have been in Mount Ida I have been worse than ever. When I came in from my claim I was on crutches. I put up at the John Bull Hotel, and I had made up my mind to go into the Hospital, as I could not work any longer. They told me in the hotel if I wanted a quick and perfect cure to come down to Dunedin and place myself under your treatment. Hearing so many speak so highly of your treatment, and seeing your advertisements in the Otago Witness, I made up my mind to give you a trial, and I think it is only my duty to let the public know what a perfect cure you made of me in Bix weeks. Henry Rockwell, Mount Ida. July Bth, 1878. To Professor Gusscott.— Dear Sir— l had been troubled with neuralgia in the head and face for the last two years, and have sufiered the most excruciating pains. 1 had tried everything I could think of, but found no relief. I have had four teeth extracted at different times. The dentist told me that would cure me, but that did not ease me. I have been kept awake for hours at night, and could not sleep. When I would sit down to meals then my misery would commence. If there is one pain greater than another, I think this is the worßt. When I heard you had cured so many of the same complaint, I was glad to have' the opportunity of placing myself under your treatment. Your charge was ten shillings, and I never spent ten shillings to more advantage in my life. Mrs Bella M'Kay. George street, Bth October, 1878. Dunedin, 1878. To Professor Gusscott. — Sir — I have been troubled with asthma for the last eight years, with very severe attacks of bronchitis. For the last two years I have not bad a good night's sleep. My principal sleep would be when I was propped up on the sofa. To lay down I dare not, being afraid that I would be smothered, and at times I thought I would be choked ; but as soon as I had taken your first emetic, and had taken two of the bottles of medicine, I felt a great change for the better. I then had confidence in you to carry out your instructions, with most satisfactory results ; and also hearing of the cure that you had made of Mr Wilson, that is working for Guthrie and Larnach ; and I am happy to tell you that I can now sleep as well as ever I did in my life. I think it my duty to make this known, as I know there are thousands suffering from the same complaint as myself. You can make use of this acknowledgment. Mrs EVERLEANOR PHILLIPS, North-East Valley.

TESTIMONIALS TO P i To Professor Gusscott. — Dear Sir — Since 12 years of age I have been greatly troubled with asthma, the result of a cold on the lungs. At various times I have sought medical advice without ever receiving the ! slightest benefit. I have also had bad at tacks of bronchitis. At the suggestion of a patient of yours I placed myself under your treatment, which lasted six weeks, at the end of which time I was pefeotly cured. With confidence I recommend your treatment for these distressing complaints, feeling assured of your successful treatment in every case, and I wish you to make this acknowledgement known for the relief of others. David Doullb, Kensington. To Professor Guscott— Sir— l have been troubled with rheumatism and sciatica in the hip joints for the past five years, and racKed with pain day and night, and deprived of sleep, and not able to attend to my business, with excruciating pains. I was advised to try your herbal treatment. lam 43 years of age, and I am happy to say that I am free from pain, and have perfect use of my limbs, and can attend to my business as well as i did ten years ago. Hoping this statement of mine may be beneficial to others who have been affected in a similar way, Thomas Ferguson, George street, Dunedin. Dunedin, June 3rd, 1878. To Professor Gusscott— Sir — I am happy to inform you that I am able to return home after your treatment of four weeks' duration, having been troubled with dropsy these last four years. I have been tapped twice ; I have been under the doctors in Oamaru, and also in Dunedin, and never received any | benefit from their treatment. When my sister called on you last April, you told her if I would come to Sfc Kilda and stop with her you would treat me for a fortnight free of charge, and after that time, if I was no better, you required no payment ; but lam happy to inform you that I feel as well as ever I have felt, and free of dropsy, and can eat and sleep well. I trust that your days may be long in Dunedin. You can be assured that I will speak of the cure you have effected on me on my return home, as I leave my sister to-morrow. Mrs Isabell Fraser. St Kilda, June 10th, 1878. To Professor Gusscott. — Sir — I applied to you on the 18fch May last. I have been troubled with nervous debility for several years, so much so that I was unable to attend to my work. I could neither eat nor sleep]; my mind was wandering. I saw that ehere was nothing but the doom of suicide. I had lost my memory; my sight diminished. I was a perfect skeleton, cared for no company, nor could hold any conversation. II 11I 1 always wished to be by myself. I thought everybody was looking at mo and knew my complaint. When I came to you, you told me every symptom that I was labouring under. When I met John Marr, who is now stopping in town, I told him how you had explained to me the different Bymptoms and inconvenience I was suffering ; he said you had cured him perfectly, which statement of his decided me to place myself under your treatment, and I thank God and you that I did so, as lam now a neW man. They knew well in my boarding-house the state I was in when I applied to you, and none but you, humanly speaking, may I thank, as I had tried many medical men and found no relief, unless to ease my pocket. John Andrews.
