TESTIMONIALS. TO PROFESSOR GUSSOOTT, SIR, —Having for tho last four years suffered from bad eyes, being totally blind in one, and from using a solution of nitrate of silver as a lotion, which had penetrated my whole system causing mo the moat acute pains, which, added to rheumatism, prevented my sleeping at night, and rendered my life absolutely burdens imo to me. I have consulted and been tn ated by doctors in different, parts of Cant rburv, as also in the < hristcburch Hospital, but without obtaining tho slightest relief. Determined to leave no stone unturned while the smallest chance remained of an abatement of my sufferings, I applied to you immediately I heard of your arrival, and the cure which you have effected would seem to many incredible, but as I am still here a living proof of the success of your treatment, as can also be testified by hundreds in ( hristcburch, who knowing what I was like for so long up to a week ago, look with astonishment at the change which you have wrought. Wishing yon many years of happiness and prosperity in pursuing your useful career I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully, Patrick Burns. Sexton’s Allenton House, St Asaph street, Christchurch.

I could not sleep on my left side ; I kept rolling about backwards and forwards in bed. When I got up in the morning, I would rather be in bed, but work 1 had to attend to. When I had eaten a light meal I found it always lodged in my stomach Always costive, a great palpitation, pains across the chest, 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 laboring 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. 1 am, Sir, Truly thankful, William Mans in.

I came to Christchurch and tried doctors of the best medical repute, and got no better. Thinking that it was usoh ss to go any further. 1 gave up all hopes of being restored ; I could hardly walk, and staying at an old friend’s, he advi-ed me to consult you, and I am happy to say I am in as perfect health as I was in 1864, when I crossed the ranges to the West Goa*t, and was only ten days under your treatment.

When I came to you you told me all my symptoms, which gave mo confidence to place myself under your treatment, and being a believer of herbs, and swing the large assortment in your establishment, and also the references from other sufferers the same as myself, in looking back to the time of my suffering so long, and spending so mu< h money without receiving any benefit from the treatment until I applied to you.
