Dear Sir, — I havo been troubled with nervous debility for tho past eight years, brought on, as you have explained in the "Cauterbury Times," by the indiscretion of early youth. I have spent scores of pounds, first with one and then with another, but nover received any permanent benefit. Some said that I had heart disease, others that I was 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, thoughfyou told me you could treat me equally as well by stopping and attending to my work as in losing my time by coming to to«n. I was unfit for work, so decided to como to town for a spell, as I could neither eat nor Bleep. My mind wandered ; I had a desire to be away from company, 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 me sometimes feel aa if death would bo 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 my arrival in town, when you were in Manchester street, and you then told rsie that it would take three months at the very least to effect a perfeot cuie, and that I must comply exaotly with your instructions; if, not, you would not guarantee a cure. lam now happy to Bay that I did as jou told me to the very regulatisg my hours and habits, and that now, after a lapse of fifteen weeks, my memory is restored, my sight has become strong again, my mind has ceased to wander, I can enjoy company, and, in short, Richard's himself agaiu. I Bhould not go to the trouble of describing so minutely my sufferings, but that I know of so many young men who are living secluded lives whose sufferings are precisely what my own were before I cauie to you, and who, although in health, would be really amiable and estimable persons, ara looked upon as gloomy, morose, and unsociable men simply because of that phase of tho 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 novor laid out a more profitable sum of money than when they came to Professor Guscott.— Beliove me, yours faithfully, RIOHABD DOBSOK. 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, Ghistchurcb, Jan. 20, 1880. To Phofessob Gusscott, 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 made up my mind that I would come and consult you. When I came to you, you explained all my symptoms so minutely that 1 was perfectly satisfied to place myself under your treatment. You told me that you would make a perfect cure of me for five pounds, for which I gave you a cheque for the amount. At that time everything that I eat went sour on my Btomach, and was continually riftiDg wind and gas. I had a 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 complaints. I can now eac well and sleep well, and I shall always bo happy to recommend anyone suffering from the same. Believe me to be, Yours ever grateful, Mbs Birnie. Kai*poi Island, Kaiapoi. Nov. ISth, 1880. To Pbofessob Gttsscott, South Town Belt, Ohristchurch. Dear fcir, — 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 beat advice in Timaru and Dunediu, which proved unsuccessful and baffled every treatment but your valuablo 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 freßh energy and vigour to my whole system. — Yours ever grateful, Thomas Higgiks, October 18, 1880. Timaru. Pbofessob xartfevQct. 26, 1850. Dear Sir, — It is with unbounded pleasure that I now write to you to certify that I am as nearly aa well as I was ever in my life, and am surprised that in the course of three months you have done what I believed 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 I had, and when at last I got so bad I came to you, as I found tho doctors in Melbourne and Christ* church could do no good, and you very quickly told mo after looking at me that I Had what you term wasting nervous debility, which I believe was the proper name, as I could not bear tho least excitement without alinoßt dropping, and my eight was getting more confinod 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 I became a mere skeleton of my former self; but, thank God, I have regained the use of my sight as perfect as before, my appetite being so good that I can eat anything the rest of the family eatß, and relish it, and I am increasing in weight fast, eo that I can recommend anyone suffering from the eamo complaint to consult you as goon as possible, which will save them pounds upon pounds, as it has in three months under your treatment cost me less than £10, whereas it had cost mo as much or more a month under the doctors, and fcr nothing. You can use this as you think proper, and I shall bo glad, if anyone wishes to ask any questions to answer them at any time while remaining in Now Zealand, and wishing you overy success in your undertaking, — I have the honour to remain, Yours truly, Lily Watt. Late of Tate's Buildings, corner of Montreal street, Christchurch. To Peofessob Guscott, Eouth Town Belt. Sir, — As I was coming to the Agricultural Show, I thought it my duty to call and lat you know the' benefit that I have received ■ through your treatment. I have been troubled with dropsy for the last five years j I was a perfect burden to myself. For tho last twelve months I have not boon able to afcter.d to my business. Whrn I had to come to Southbridge I was entirely exhausted and knocked up for days aftor, but I had dreaded coming down to seo you on tho train, knowing whiit I had suffered on the cars. When I called upon you, you told me that you could effect a perfect cure, which I was rather doubtful, but did r.ot like to say so, having tried so much patent xipcHoincs that 1 had lost all faith of medicines of any deasription, but you told mo that jou would convinco me ia a week's time, which you did so, and in two months you effected a perfect euro. I should havo sent you this testimonial long beforo thia, but ns 1 knew I should be coming to the Show, I thought that I would let you see tbe miracles your horbul treatment had done for me, hoping this will reach the eyes of anyone suffering as I have done. I give you this in presence of Mr Williams and Mr Morgan, end bcliovo mo to be yours over truly, Henby Evans,
