PROFESSOR GUSCOTT MAY NOW BE CONSULTED AT HIS RESIDENCE, SOUTH TOWN BELT, CHRISTCHURCH, Seccnd Door East from Colombo Street. TESTIMONIALS. A WONDERFUL CURE. Professor Guscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir,— l 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 speut scores ot pounds first with one and then with another, but never received any permanent benefits. 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, 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 ; Iha I a desire to b^ 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 sometimss feel as if death would be a happy release. My head ached, my heart palpitated violently, I would start almost at my own shaiow. My mind, in fact, was not my own. I saw you on my arrival in town, when you were in Manchester street, and you theu 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, yon would not guarantee a cure. lam happy now to say that I did as you told me to the very regulating my hours and habits, and that now, after the lapse of fifteen weeks, my memory is restored, my sight has become strong again, my mind has ceased to wauder, I can enjoy company, and, in short, Richard's himself again. I should 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 bsfore I came to you, and who, although in health, would be really amiable and estimable persons, are looked upon as gloomy, morose, unsociable men simply because of that phase of the disease which I have named, a hatred for company. If this should bs 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 sum of money than when they came to Professor G uscott.— Believe me, yours faithf ally, _ Richard Dobson. P.S.— I icturn to my work to-morrow, and I know my f nenf s there will be agreeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria street, Christchurch, Jan. 20, ISSO. Professor Guscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir,— l return the small case of medicine sent by bearer, as before the last case was finished ray pain bai ceased and I felt so much better that I intended call ing to see you to ask for some other treatment which would restore my former strength, as weakness is now the only thing from which I now suffer. The rheumatism has completely left me, au.l I assure you I have not been free from it until now'for two years. Purlin po if you send me some tonic, to give me an appetite, I shall b 3 able to rcgaiu strength.— Yours faithfully, 11 ' ° Eliza Watson. Ferry Road, Jan. 20. 18S0. Professor Guscott. Dear Sir,— lt is rather a difii.iultnn.ttcr to comply with your request, as I have some delicacy in advertising my cure. I feel, however, that I should h<\ wanting in gratitude if I did not state that when I came to you for treatment you refused to take any payment until I had taken sufficient of your medicine to satisfy myself that you could cure me of the distressing nervous debility from which 1 suffered. 1 may state shortly that you restored me to perfect health, but would rather not enter into a particular description of my complaint. — Yours truly, _ r THOMAfe MORAN. Southbridge, January 7, ISBO. Professor Guscott, South lown Belt. Dear Sib,— The last case of medicine has arrived all right, but the cost of carriage is rather high. Please send the next casj by steamer, and I think I shall not require any more, as 1 am so inucu better. When I remember that you only commenced treating me at Christmas and that I am now on a fair way to recovery. I believe that I shall not want much more medicine. Jf you knesy the amount of money I have spent in trying to get rid of this horrible sciatica, which you have now almost driven off. I think I have been a fool in not writing to you when you were at Duaedin, but I put it ott irom time to time. I send you with this the second aud last instalment of £3, which please acknowledge an.l oblige yours truly, ' F Maurice Walder. Kumara, January 17, 18S0. Professor Guscott, South Belt. Dear Sir,— l cannot give you the loiter you ask for, as Ido no want people to know that you have been treating me, unless you like to publish my statement without showing my name. If you conscut to do this you are at liberty to state that I was suffering for about three years from unpleasant, weakening dreams, which brought on all the unpleasant effects of languor and loss of energy and a sort ot feeling that 1 was done up. You treated me for ten weeks and 1 am now quite well. — Yours, &c, P. M'& •
