"O ESUSCITATION OF THE LONG-MOULDERING DISEASE AND DEATH-DESTROYER ! LOST IN NOAH'S ARK At the time of the Gbeat Flood ! STARTLING DELUSIONS ! J^rofessor (3r USSCOTT > THE RENOWNED HERBALIST AND CHIROPODIST, Has recently awakened to the fact of his being under a painful delusion. ®^- OWING TO THE INCESSENT DRAIN ON HIS STRENGTH, by attending to the call of so many in the district, THE PROFESSOR HAS TAKEN HIMSELF TO SHORTLAND STREET, (Next door to Messrs Winks and Hall's), Where, in the quiet seclusion of his Private Room, he will try to recruit his strength. He lias all through life been taught that the love of life is strong in every individual : that under its influence persons will have recourse to the most costly means to keep themselves alive. Holloway knew this, and so, with a box of pellets and a jar of grease, he has made a fortune. That preparation of Cockle's, swallowed so largely by a public eager to live, has also made its owner a fortune. People will live, they say, and so fortunes have been made, and are yet being made, easily. As all medicines advertised are positive cures the public, of course, buy them. NOW COMES THE PROBLEM. If all these Medicines, compounded of such curious and unpronounceable materials, cure all those to whom they are administered, then there is nothing left for PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT, but to KILL, which they must do on a large scale, as HIS MEDICINES ARE EAGERLY SOUGHT AFTER, and are to be SEEN in EVERY HOUSE. PROFESSOR GUSCOTT invites the confidence of either sex suffering from functional derangements, spermatorrhoea, exhausting dreams, &c. PROFESSOR GUSCOTT has made nervous debility and loss of power his special study, from whatever cause arising. He would earnestly impress upon those who do suffer to seek immediate advice and counsel, if they desire "an old age, serene and bright." Let no false delicacy deter suffering victims from removing the cause of this blight to manhood. The strictest confidence may be relied upon. PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT, who has been studying all the above diseases for the last twenty years (both in America and France), is now in Auckland, and by applying to him for advice lie will show you how to preserve health and strength, seciu'e long life and happiness. PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT may be consulted by letter (covering remittance), or personally, at his residence, Shortland-street. Hours of attendance — 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Remember treatment solely by HERBS. A WONDERFUL CURE. Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir, — I have been troubled with nervous debility for the past eight years, brought on as you have explained in the " Canterbury Times," by the indiscretion of early youth. I have spent scores of pounds first with one and then with another, but never received any permanent benefit. Some said that I had heart disease, others that I Avas consumptive, but when I wrote to you from the Rakaia you explained my symptoms so exactly that I was induced to come to town at once, though you told me you could treat me equally as well by stopping and attending to my work as in losing time by coming to town. I was unfit for work, so decided to come to town for a spell, as I could neither eat nor sleep. My mind wandered ; I had a desire to be away from company, and yet when alone my own company was hateful to me. I wrs troubled with the most hideous dreams, and was in that low, nervous state which made me sometimes feel as if death would be a happy release. My head ached, my heart palpitated voilently, I would start almost at my own shadow. My mind, in fact, was not my own. I saw you on my arrival in town, when yon were in Manchester-street, and you then told me that it would take three months at the very least to effect a perfect cure, and that I must comply exactly with your instructions ; if not, you would not guarantee a cure. I am now happy to say that I did as you told me to the very regulating my hours and habits, and that now, after the lapse of fiften weeks, my memory is restored, my sight lias become strong again, my mind has ceased to wander. I can enjoy company, and, in short, Richard's himself again. I should not go to the troxible of describing so minutely my sufferings, but that I kuow of so many young men who are living secluded lives, whose sufferings are precicely what my own were before I came to you, and who, although in health, would be really amiable and estimable persons, are looked upon as gloomy, morose, and unsociable men simply because of that phase of the disease which I have named, a hatred for company. If this should be read by any of those persons, suffering as I did, and they are induced to apply to you for relief, I will guarantee that they will say after a few weeks that they never laid out a more profitable suni of money than when they came to Professor Gusscott. — Bcleive me, yours faithfully, Richard Dobson. P.S. — I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends will be agi'eeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria. street, Chrictchurch, Jan. 20, 1880. Public Inspection invited to the Large Assortment of BRITISH AND AMERICAN HERBS. Note the Address — Professor (j"* 78800^' 1 ' Next Door to Messrs Winks and Hall's Establishment.
