Colombo Street, April 27, 1879; < To Professor Guscott. Sir, —1 have been troubled with Dysentery for the last three months, so much so that I was perfectly exhausted, the linings of my ip*es'tihes peeled away in flakes. I tried every remedy that I could hear of, but to no purpose.

Sir,--I have been troubled with Sciataca and Rh.umatism since the commencement of the West Coast diggings in 1564, 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 o t Queensland, and only tound 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 1 gave up all hopes of being restored ; 1 could scarcely walk, and staying at_ an old friend’s, he advised hie" to consult youjand I am happy to say I am in as perfect health as I was in 1864, when I crossed the ranges of the West Coast, and was only ten days under your treatment.
