To Professor Guscott, : Sir, —I have been troubled with Livei Complain these last six years, many times not being able to attend to Work. I have fried everything in the 1- 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 go,t*up in the morning,;l would rather be in; bed .but work I had to attend to. Whe-.i 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 cold. 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 l© 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, William Manson. Colombo Street, : April 21,. 1879.; ... To Professor.Guscott. , . . . . Sir,—l 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 fried’every remedy that I could hear of, but to no purpose. Hearing 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, i Ellen Brown. : ; I give you this testimonial for the benefit 0 others,; as I ‘know there.,are a great many others suffering from the same cqmplaint in Christchurch. .

' V , .SiR,-frX have been troubled, with..Sciataca and Rheumatism, since the commencement of the West Coast diggings’ in 1864, where I had to leave through medical advice, arid, went to Melbourne, and thence to . Sydney, and then I thought T would try the tropical climate -• of Queensland, and only found temporary 1 relief. I came to Christchnrch,' 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 ,ahi old .friend’s, he advised me to consult you, and T am happy to say I am in. as perfect' health as I was in 1864, when I crossed: the ‘ ranges: of the West Goast, and was only ten days under your treatment:' h ’ •! ‘j; J, 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 t© get up and walk to get a breath of air,; arid 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. When I came to you you told: me all my symptoms, which gave me confidence: to place myself under ydur treatment, and,; being a believer in:herbs, and seeing the ;large assortment in your establishment, and also the: references from other sufferers the same as ; myself, ' in looking, back to the time of : myi 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. Great King-street, Dunedin, May 30. To Professor Guscott. Sir,-—I have to inform you that I am able to return home after your treatment of 4 weeks’ duration, having been troubled with dropsy this last 4 years. I have been tapped twice ; I have been under the doctors in Oamaru, and also in D.unedin, and never received any bene fit from'their treatment.- ; Whefi my sister called on you last April you told her if I would come to St. Kilda’ and stop with her-you would treat me for a fortnight free of charge, - and after that time, if I were no better, you would require no payment • but lam happy to inform you that I feel as well as ever I felt, and free of dropsy, andean eat and sleep well.

B. Williams, Tuam street, Christchurch. To Profess©r Guscptt, Sir, —Having for the last four years suffered from bad eyes, being totally blind in one, and from using a solution of nitrate of silver as a lotion, which had penetrated my whole system; ■ causing me the, most acute pains,. whiclQ added to rheumatism, prevented my sleeping at night, and-rendered ,my life absolutely burdensome to .me, I have consulted arid been treated by doc tors in different parts of Canterbury, as also -in the Christchurch Hospital, but without obtain ing the slightest relief. Determined to leave no stone unturned while the smallest chance remained of an abatement of my sufferings- I applied to you immediately I . heard of ydur arrival, and .the cure which.you have effected would seem to mahy incredible, but as I am still here a living proof of the . success of your treatment,’ as can only be testified by hundreds in Christchurch, who knowing what I was like for so long up" to a week ago,: ■" loolc with astonishment ,at the change which you - ,have wrought. Wishing you many years of happi ness and prosperity in pursuing your useful career, I am, dear Sir, yours, respectfully, ■ i< .
