PROFESSOR GUSCOTT HiY NOW BE CONSULTED RESIDENCE, SOUrH TOWN BELT. ;eco>:d boor east from Colombo South Town Bait. Deal" Bir, —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 Bpent scores of pounds first 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 Kakaia 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 d attending to my work as in losing time oy coming to town. I was unfit for work, so decided to come to town for a spell, ab I could neither eat nor sleep. My mind wanderad ; I had a desire to bo away from company, and yet when alone my own company was hateful to me. IW 33 troubled with the most hideous dreams, and was in that low, ervous state which mado me sometimes feel as if death would be a hippy 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 ma 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, 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 tho Japsa 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. 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 voy own were before I came to you, and who, although in health, would be really amiable and estimable persons, are 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 s»y after a few weeks that they never laid out a more profitable sum of money than when I hey came to Professor Guscott. Believe me, yours fathfully, RICHABD DOBSON. P.S,—I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends there will be agreeably astonished at my present appearance. Victoria street, Christchurch, January 20th, ISBO. Pbofessor Guscott. South Town Belt. Dear 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 lassure you I have not been free from it until now for two years. Perhaps if yon send me some tonic, t'> give me an appetite, I shall be able to regain strength. Yours faithfully, Eliza Watson. Ferry road, January 20, ISSO. Pbofessor Guscott. Dear Pir. —It is rather a difficult matter to comply with your request, as I have some delicacy in advertising my care. I feel, however, that I should bo 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 thai; you could cure me of tba distressing nervotis 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 Moean. Southbridge, January 7, 1880. Propesscb 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 on ly 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 yon have now almost driven off. I think I have been a fool in not writing to you when you were at Dunedin, bu'; 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, Youxs truly, Maurice W alder. Kumara, January 17, 18S0. Professor Guscott, South Belt. Dear Sir, —I cannot give you the letter you ask for, as I do not w*nt people to know that you have been treatiug 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 dreuin3, which brought on all the unpleasant effects of languor and loss of energy* and a sort of feeling that I was done up. You trea.tod mo for ten weeks and I am now quite well. Yours, &c, P. Mel . Lyttelton January 24th, ISSO. Frofijssob Guscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir, —You aakod me to give a testimonial if your treatment should prove eff> ctive ; and I have now much pleasure indoinu so. On December 23rd 1 was suffering mopt 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. You [took me in hand, and on the ninth day from that on which I came into yaur h'jusn I was able to go to work, and am now quite well again. Yours sincerely, Hurst. Addington, January 11th, IStiO. Professor Gt/«cott, Dear Sir, —I have for three years suffered from bleeding piles, and hearing that you undertook tho enre of that complaint, called upon you last November, You gave me some medicine p.nd advice, which has resulted in my being entirely fri.'e from any sign of the suffering, which before was my chronic state, and I should strongly recommend all persons similarly alllicted to place themselves in your hands. Yours, &c, William Bbvery. South Town Belt, Chrisichurch. Professor Guscott, South Town Belt. Dear £ir.—l write this to let you knowthat the neuralgia from which I was suffering off and on for upwards of two years Beems to have left me altogether, as I have not had a sign of it for six weeks. From the time of my first coming to you it gradually got bettor, and I am now qtjjte restored to health again. Yours truly, Jane Hill, Sydenham, January 19th, 1880.
