Business Notioes MORE LOCAL EVIDENCE ON THE CUBATIVE PROPERTIES OF "DBOFESSOB I^USCOTT'S EBBBAL TREATMENT. A WONDEBFUI CITEB. Peofessoh QrscoTT, South Town Belt. Dear Sir, — I haTO been troubled with nervous debility for tho past eight years, brought on, as you have explained in the "Canterbury Times," by tho indiscretion of early youth. I have spent Boores 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 was consumptive, but when 1 wrote to you from the Rakaia you explained my symptoms so exactly that I was induced to come to town at once, thoughgyou told me you could treat me equally as well by stopping aud attending to my work as in losing my time by coming to town. I was unfit for work, co 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 compauy, and yet when alone my own company was hateful to me. I was troubled with the most hideous dreams, and was in that low, nervous state which made mo sometimes feel a 9 if death would be a happy release. My head ached, my "heart palpitated violently, I would start almost at my own shadow. My mind, in fact, was not my own. I saw you on niy arrival in town, when you were in Manchester street, and you then told rce that it would take three months at the very least to effeot a j perfect cure, and that I must comply exactly with your instructions; if, not, you would not guarantee a cure. lamno or happy to say ; that £ did as you told me to the very regulating my hours and habits, and that now, j after a lapse of fifteen weeks, my memory i» restored, my sight has become strong aga<n, my mind has ceased to wander, I can enjoy company, and, in ehort, Richard's himself again. I should not go to the trouble of | descr ; bing so minutely my sufferings, but that I know of so many young men who are living secluded lives whoso sufferings are precisely what my own were before I came to you, and who, although in health, would be really amiable and estimable persons, are looked upon &9 gloomy, morose, and unsociable mon simply because of that phase of the diseaso 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 Bay after a fow weeks that they never laid out a more profitable sum of money than when they came to Professor Guscott. — Believe me, yours faithfully, .Richard Dobson. '. P.S. — I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends there will be agreeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria street, Ohißtchurch, Jan. 20, 1880. To Peofessoe GxrescoiT, >South Town Belt. Dear Sir, — Permit me to tender my grateful acknowledgment to you for the benefit I have received from your herbal treatment. Although I have been under the care of several doctors, but I never received any • benefit from them, but got weaker but in body and mind daily, bo much bo that I was almost worn to a skeleton ; but hearing of the wonderful cures you had made, I mado up my mind that I would come and consult you. When I came to you, you explained all my symptoms co minutely that I wa? perfectly satisfied to place myßolf undor your treatment. You told me that you would make a perfect cure of me for fivo pounds, for which I gave you a cheque for the amount. At that time everything that I cat went sour on ray stomach, and was continually rifting wind and gas. I had a 1 continual palpitation and violent pains under the left breast, pains between the shoulder blades. I had always cold chills, cold hands and feet, and felt as if someone was pouring cold water down my back. lam happy now to inform you that I am free from all my. former com« plaints. I can now eat well and sleep well, and I shall always be happy to recommend anyone suffering from the same. Believe me to be, Yours ever grateful, Mrs Bibnie. Kai*poi Island, Kaiapoi. Not. 13th, 1880. To Pbofbssob Gusbcott, South Town Belt, Chiistchurch. Pear &ir, — I now, according to promise, forward you with great pleasure my testimony as to a successful cura of a troublesome skin disease, which caused me great waste of strength and annoyance for many years. My case is well-known, as I procured the best advice in Timaru and Dunedin, which proved unsuccessful and baflled every treatment but your valuable Herbal treatment, as all other professional men recommended lotions and ointments, but you told me that yours was internal treatment only, which, not only cured me of the above complaint, but gave me fresh energy and vigour to my whole system. — Yours ever grateful, Thomas Higgiks, October 18, 1880. Timaru. Chrißtchurch, Oot. 26, 1850. Pbofessob Guscott. Dear Sir, — It is with unbounded pleasure that I now write to you to certify that I am as nearly as well as I was ever in my life, and am surprised that in the course of three months you have done what I bolieved nobody could have done, as I had tried in 16 months nearly every doctor in Melbourne, and I can say that I never got the slightest relief for more than a day at a time, some saying that my liver was out of order, others that my heart was diseased, and a multiplicity of ailments which I did not believe 1 had, and when at laßt I got so bad I came to you, as I found tho doctors in Melbourne, and Ohriutchurch could do no good, and \o\x vory quickly told me after looking at me that I had what you term wasting nervous debility, which I believe was tho proper name, as I could not bear the least excitement without almost dropping, and my sight was getting more confined every day; my appetite completely gone, and sleep out of the question, not being able to get an hour's sleep at a time without starting up in a fright and find my heart palpitating very fast, so that 1 became a mero skeleton of my former self; but, thank God, I hive regained the use of my sight as perfect as before, my appetite being bo good that I can cat anything tho rest of tho family eats, and relish it, and lam increaeing in weight fust, co that I can recommend anyone suffering from tho same complaint to consult you as soon as possible, which will save them pounds upon pounds, as it has in three months under your treatment cost me leas than £10, whereas it had cost me as much or more a month under the doctors, and for nothing. You can use thie as you think proper, and I skall be glad, if anyone wishes to ask any questions to anßwor them at any time while remaining in Now Zealand, and wishing you every success in your undertaking, — I havo the honour to remain, Yours truly, "Lily Watt. Lato of Tato's Buildings, corner of Montreal street, Chiistchurch. To Pbofessob Gfecott, South Toirn Belt. Sir, — As I was coming to tho Agriculturol Show, I thought it my duty to call and let you know tho benefit that I havo recoived through your treatment. I have been troubled witli dropsy for tho last five yf ara ; I wbb a perfect burden to myself. For the last twelvo months I have not boon able to attoi;d to my business. Whf n I had to come to Southbridge I was entirely exhausted and knocked up for days after, but I had droailod coming down to see you on the train, knowing whut 1 had Buffered on tho cars. When I called upon you, you told mo that you could effect a perfect euro, which I was rather doubtful, but did not like to soy so, having tried co much patent medicines that I hurl lost all faith of medicines of any description, but you told mo that you -would convinco me in a week's time, which you did so, r.nd in two months you effected a perfect cure. I should havo sent you this testimonial long before thie, but us 1 know I Bhould bo comiDg to the Show, I thought that I would let you bco tho miracles your herbal treatment had dono for mo, hoping this will reach tho eyc3 of anyone Buffering as I have dore. I give you this in presence of Mr Williams and Mr Morgan, and bolievo mo to be yours ever truly, Hekby Etaks.
