To Professor Guscott. SIR,--I have been troubled with Sciataca and Kh-umatism since the commencement of the West, Coast diggings in 1864, where I had to leave through medical advice, and went to Melbourne, and thence to Sydney, and then I thought I would try the tropical climate of Queensland, and only found temporary relief. I came to Christchurch, and tried doctors of the best: medical repute, and got no better. Thinking that it was useless to go any further I gave up all hopes of being restored ; I could scarcely walk, and staying at - an old friend’s, he advised me to consult you, and I am happy to say I-ani-iri. as perfect health as I was in 1564, when I-crossed.,the ranges of the West Coast, and -was only ten days under your treatment.” John O’Brien, To Professor Guscott. . • ' Sir, —Having been troubled with asthma for the last seven years, on several occasions I have been propped up in bed, and many times I had to get up and walk to get a breath of air, and had become so bad that 1 was not able to trend to my business ; in Get.
