PROFESSOR GUSCOTT MAY NOW BE CONSULTED AT HIS RESIDENCE. SOUTH TOWN BELT, CHRISTOHURCH, Second Door East from Colombo Street TESTIMONIALS. A WONDERFUL CURE. Pbofessor Gttscott, 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 receive! any permanent benefits. Some said that I had heart disease, otliers that I was consumptive, but when I wrote to you from the Rakaia you explained my symptoms so exactly that I was induce I to come tak town at once, though you told me you could treat rag equally as well" by stopping and attending to my work as in losiijr time by coming to town. I was unfit for work, so dcci le Ito come to town for a spell, as I could neither eat nor sleep. My mini wm-ierei; I ha la desire to bs away from company, ani yet when alone ray own c ampany was hateful to me. I was 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 violently, I would start almost at my owashalow. 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 ma that it would take three months at the very least to effect a perfect cure, an,d that I must comply exactly with your instructions ; if not, yo'i 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 lap«e 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 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 livea 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 lookel 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 a< 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, Richard Dobsox P.S. — I teturn to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends there will be agreeably astonished at my present appearance. , Victoria street, Christchurch, Jan. 20, 1880. Professor Gusscott. Sir, — Having suffered from dropsy for upwards of four years, and tried every available means for obtaining relief, I was induced by a lady who lives in the Gasworks' road, and who you were then treating, to apply to you, as all other means had failed. As you were not a doctor I had very little faith in you, but you treated me successfully, and I am thankful to be able to bear testimony to the fact that within a month from ilate of your undertaking my case I was completely restored to health. — 1 am, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) Jajtb Smith. Sydenham, between Colombo and Montreal streets, To Professor Guscott. Sin, — For many years I was a hopsless invalid, and for twelve months unable to attend to business. My breathing was hard, and at times I was propped up in bed. The medical man who attended me said that I was doomed to be a sufferer from asthma, for the remainder of my days : but my daughter took upon herself to call upon you and explain the nature of my complaint, which you undertook to cure. With that apathy with which an invalid submits co almost anything I suffered my daughter to have her way, and was placed under your care. What you did for me was simply marvellous. After a very short time I was very much better, and now am able to attend to business, can eat, drink, and sleep well, and enjoy as good health as any man at my age (54) can hope to do. I make this known as much to fulfil a duty as to benefit you. There are hundreds of persons in Christchurch who have known me only as an. invalid, and who look at me now with astonishment, ao complete is the cure which you have wrought by the most simple and least di9agiveable method conceivable. — Yours gratefully, (Signed) John H. Ha.ll, Montreal street, Christchurch. Tuam street, Christchurch, April 28, 1879. To Professor Guscott. Sm, — I have beau troubled with liver complaint these last sis years, many times been not able to attend to work. I have tried everything in the shape of patent medicines. I have been an outdoor patient in the hospital ; I got at times temporary relief. I could not sleep on my left side ; I kept rolling about backwards and t forwards in bed. When I got up in thfl morning, I would rather her in bed, but work I had to attend to. When I had eaten a light me ' I found it always lodged iv my stomach. Always costive, a great palpitation, pains across the chebt, more particularly under the left breast, always a violent pain between the shoulders, felt just the same as if any one was pouring water down my back, feet always cold. Happened to get one of your bills when you came to St. Asaph street, which explained to me the symptoms I was labouring under. When I applied to you, you told me all my symptoms and guaranteed me a perfect cure, which, I am happy to say, you have done through your herbal treatment. I should recommend those troubled with liver complaint to place themselves under your treatment. iam sir, truly thankful, William Manson,
