A WONDERFUL CURE.

Professor Guscott, 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 o£ pounds first with one and then with another, but never received any permanent benefits. Borne 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 ; 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 aR 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 my arrival in town, when you 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 somply exactly with your instructions ; if not, you 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 wander, I can enjoy company, and, in short, Kichard'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 before 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 Guscott. — Believe me, yours faithf ally, BIOHARD DOBSON. P.S. — I leturn to my work to-morrow, and I know my f nends there will be agreeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria street, Christchurch, Jan. 20, 1880.

Dear Sir, — I return the small case of mediciue sent by b-iarcr,* as before the last casp. was finished my pain had ceasod and I felt bo much better that I intended calling to see yon to ask for some othuf 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, and I assure you I have not been free from it until now for two years. Perhaps if you send me some tonic, to give me an appetite, I shall be able to regaiu strength. — Yours faithfully, Eliza Watson.

Ferry Road, Jan. 20, 1880.

Professor Guscott.

Dear Sir, — It is rather a difficult matter to comply with your request, as I have some delicacy in advertising my cure. I feel, however, that I should be 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 I 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, TUOMAb MORAN. Southbridge, January 7, 1880.

Professor Guscott,

South Town Belt.

DEAR Sir, — The last case of medicine has arrived all right, but the cost of carriage is rather high. Please send the next case by steamer, and I think I shall not require any more, as I am so much 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. If you knew 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 Dunedin, but I put it off from time to time. I send you with this the second and last instalment of' £5, which please acknowledge and oblige yours truly, Maurice Waldeb. Kumara, January 17, l«80. PROFESSOR G-USCOTT, South Belt. Dear Sir, — I cannot give you the letter 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 consent 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 elfects of languor and loss of energy and a sort of feeling that 1 was done up.
