PROFESSOR GUSCOTT M SIY NOW BE CONSULTED AT HIS RESIDENCE, sours town belt. SECOND DOOR BAST FROM COLOMBO STREET, TE STIMONIADS. A WONDERFUL CURE. Pkofessob Gu SCOTT, South Town Balt. Dear Sir, —I have been troubled with nervrus debility for the past eight years, brought on, as you have explained in the “ Canterbury Times” by the indiscretion of early youth 1 have spent scores of pounds tirst with one and then [with another, but never 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 oome to town at once, though you told me you could treat mo 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 1 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 mo. 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 releaie. 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 mo that it wou'd take three months at the very least to effect a perfect cure, and that I must comply 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, 1 can enjoy company, and, in short, Richard’s himself again. 1 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 persona, 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 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 never laid out a more profitable sum of money than when they came to Professor Guscott.

Believe me, yours fathtully, Richard Dobson. P. S. —I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friend* there will bo agreeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria street, Christchurch, January 20th, 18S0> PROFESSOR Gusc jTT. South Town Belt. Bear Sir, —I return the small case of medicine sent by bearer, as before the last case was finished my pain had ceased and I felt so much better that I intended calling 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, and I assure you I have not been free from it until now for two years. Perhaps if yon send me some tonic, to give me an appetite, I shall be able to regain strength. Yours faithfully, Eliza Watson. Ferry road, January 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 1 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. I may state shortly that you restored me to perfect health, but would rather not enter into a particular description of my complaint. Yours truly, (Signed) Thomas Moran. Southbridge, January 7, 1881. 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 lam 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, X believe that I shall not want much more medicine. If you knew the amount of money I have spent in trying to gee 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 VValder. Kmnara, January 17, 1880.. Professor Guscott, South Balt. Dear Sir, —I cannot give you the letter you ask for, as I do not 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 nnplea sant, weakening dreams, which brought on all the unpleasant effects of languor and loss of energy and a sort of feeling that I was done up. You treated me for ten weeks and I am now quite well. Yours, &c., P. Me ; . Lyttelton January 24th, 1880. pßOKassoß Guscott, South Town Belt.

Dear Sir, —Tou asked me to give a testimonial if your treatment should prove effective ; and I have now much pleasure in doim; so. On December 23rd I was suffering most intense pain from dysentery of some six ■weeks standing. I was very much exhausted and had to leave work about four weeks before consulting you. Tou -took me in hand, and on the ninth day from that on which I came into your house I was able to go to work, and am now quite well again. Yours sincerely, ■TV ILLIAM HcUST, Addington, January 17th, 18S0. Professor Gu.-cott, Dear Sir, —I have for three years suffered from bleeding pilea, and hearing that you undertook the cure of that complaint, ca'led upon you last .November. You gave mo some medicine and advice, which has resulted in my being entirely free from any sign of the suffering, which before was my chronic state, and I should strongly recommend all persons similarly afflicted to place themselves in your hands. Yonrs, &c, "William E every. South Town Belt, Christchurch. Pkofkssor Guscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir, —I write this to let you know that the neuralgia from which I was suffering off and on for upwards of two years seems to have left me altogether, as I have not had a sign of it for six aveeks. From the time of my first coming to you it gradually got. better, and I am now quite restored to health again. Yours truly, .Tank Hill, Sydenham, January 19th. ISSO.
