Sir,— l have - been troubled with Livei Complain these last six years, many times not being able to attend to work.*. I have tried everything in the shape of patent medicines. I have been an > outdoor patient in the Hospi tal; I got at times temporary relief. I could not sleep on my left side; I kept rolling about backwards and forwards in bed. When I got up iri the morning, I would rather be in bed but work I had to attend to. When I had eaten a light meal I found it always lodged in my stomach. Always costive, a great palpi tation, pains across the chest, more particu larly 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 c01d.., 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 ta place themselves under your treatment. ~ , ~ I am, Sir, Truly thankful, 1 ■ William Manson. Colombo Street, April 21, 1579. To Professor Guscbtt. Sir, I have been troubled with Dysentery for the last three months, so much so that I was perfectly exhausted, the linings of my intestines peeled away in flakes. ' I tried every remedy that I could hear of, but to no purpose. Plearing' that you were in Christchurch, and seeing the many wonderful cures, was induced to place myself under your treatment, and I am happy to say in one week I am free from the, diarrhoea, and gaining strength from your herbal treatment. I am, yours respectfully, ■ . • • Ellen Brown. . I give you this testimonial for the benefit o others, as I know there are a great many others suffering from the Same complaint in Christchurch. Borough Hotel, Manchester Street, Christchurch, April 21, 1579. To Professor Guscott. f : SIR, —I;have been troubled with Sciataca and Rheumatism since the commencement cf 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 Christchnrch,- arid tried , doctors of the best i 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 stayirig at an old friend’s, he advised 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 of the West Coast, and was only ten days under your treatment. f r 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 iriany times I had to get up and walk to get a breath of air, and had become so,bad that I was not-able to attend to my business'in fact, I had become a burden to myself and the people with whom I was stopping. Wheri I came to you you told me all my symptoms, which gave me confidence to. place myself .under your treatment, and,* being a believer in herbs, and seeirig- : 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 much money without receiving any benefit from the treat ment until I applied to you. —I remain, yours ever thankful, Donald Smith.
