Dear Sir,-I have been troubled with nervous debility for the paat eight years, brought on a» you have explained in the " Canterbury Times," by the indlecrotion of oarly youth. I havo spent scores of pounds first with one and thun with another, but novor received any pornianent bonefit. Boino said that I had hoart diseaso, others that I was ooiißUinptivo, but whon I wrote to you from tho Kakaia you uxplaL.od my symptoms bo oxactly that I was induced to oomo to town at once, though you tolf) me you could treat me equal ly as well by stopplngandattondingtomy work aa in losing time by coming to town. I was un t for work, ho dooided to como to town for a spell, aa I could neither oat nor sleep. My mind, wandorod: I had a desire to be away from com pany, and yet when alone my own company was hatefnl to mo. I was troubled with the most hideous dreams, nnd was in that low. nervous state wWch mado mo sometimes feel aa it death would bo a happy releaße. 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 mo that it would take three months at the very least to effect a perfeot cure, ana that x must comply exactly with your instructions; v not, you would not guarantee a cure. lam now happy to say that I did as you told mo to tho very regulating my hours and habits, and that now, after the lapse of fifteen weeks, my memory is restored, my sight has beoomo strong again my mind has ceased to wander. oan enjoy company, and, in short, Richard's himself, again. I should not go to the trouble of dosorib ing so minutely my sufferings, but that I kaow of so many young men who are living Heoladea lives, whose sufferings are precisely what my own wore before 1 came to yo'i, and who. although Id health, woold be really amiable and ostlmablo nori'ous, are looked upon as gloomy, morose, and uneoclable men simply because of that phai<o of the disease Which 1 have named, I a hatred for company. If this should bo read by j any of those persons, Buffering aa I did, and they are induced to apply to you tor relief, I will guarantee that they will say after a few weeks thst they never laid out a more profitable sain of money than when they oame to 1-Tofesaor Gusßcott—Bellevo me, yours faithfully, Riohard Dobson. P.S. — I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends Will be agreeably astonished at my pre sent appearance, Victoria-street, Chrißtohuroh. Jan. HO. 1880. To Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt. Deor Sir,—When I app ied to yon I had been suffering with tho dropsy for this last four years. Before I left Wellington I had been under threo different doctors, but never received any benefit from thorn. I was advised to come to Christohurch for a change ot climate, but finding there waa no change for the better, I was advised to be tapped by the doctors, who told me that was the only hope there was for me, I havo always heard it Bald that when anyone is tapped there la no oure s but 1 am happy to Bay that when I applied to you, you said you could cure me in six weeks, providing that I went by your instruc tions ; also, when yon showed us the different assortments and the quantity that you have, my husband made up his mind at once, and being a believer in herbs and the many hopeless cases they have cured in tho part of Lancashire that I came from, I knew that I could not do any better than come under your treatment, I feel it my duty to pnblloly acknowledge the great benefit th&t I have derived from your treatment, —I am, yours ever grateful, Harah Fetch t To Professor Goaseott, South Town Belt. Sir, —I think it my duty to give yon my testimonial In respect of the curative treatment of your Herbal Tonic. I have been suffering from liver complaint for several years; in faot I waa so bad that I was not able to attend to my business. My face was as yellow as gold. I could not eat —not sufficient for a child. When I did, it lay in a hard substance in my stomach. I was con tinually rifting wind and gas. always consti pated, palpitation of tbe heart, with a continu ally burning pain. I had cold chills running down my back. I could not sleep on my lott Bide, It io quite unnecessary to tell you that I have tried several things in tho chemists' shops, but I found it was only money thrown away; but hearing of so many who have been under your treatment, and all of them speaking so highly of you, I thought it better to give you a trial, and I am happy to say that after two months of your treatment lam a new man. I now cat heartily and everything agrees with me. With many thanks, lam yours respect fully, William Jenkins, Armagh-street. Feb ruary 1881. To Professor Gussoott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir,—Permit me to tender my grateful acknow ledgments to you for the benefit I have received from your herbal treatment. Although I have been under the core of several doctors, I never received any benefit from them, but got weaker both in body and mind daily, so much so that I was almost worn to a skeleton; but hearing of the wonderful cures you had made, I made up my mind that I would como and consult you. When I came to you, you explained all my symptoms so minutely that I was perfectly sutisflod to place myself under your treatment. Yon told me that you would make a perfeot cure ot me for five pounds, tor which I gave yon a cheque for the amount. At that time everything that I ate went sour on my stomach, and was constantly rifting wind and gas. I had a continual palpitation, and violent pains under tho left breast, pains between the Bhoulder blades, I hod always cold chills, cold bands and feet, and felt as if someone was pouring cold water down my back. I am happy now to inform you that 1 am free from all ivy former complaims. I can now cut well and sleep well, and I ehall always be happy to recommend anyone Buttering from the same. Believe me to be, yours ever grateful, Mrs Kirnie. Kaiapol Island, Katapoi, November 13th, 1881. To Professor Oassoott, South Town Belt Christchnrch: Dear Sir,—l have long been wishing to give you a testimonial for the suo coßsful way in which you treated me. I have been under several doctors in this town, and 1 never received any relief until I applied to you, and in four days I found relief, thanks to your herbal treatment, I lived with Dr Campbell as farm manager for one year and six months in tho district of New Brighton, Chrixtotmroh. I was bad off and on for four years; but when I came to you it was a very difficult job for me to get in and out of the cart, my wife having to assist me. I have been a great martyr, but, timnka to Providence, in two months yon re stored me to perfect health. Witnessed by George Newton, who was staying at my house. Believe me to be yours, over grateful, Robert! Wildsmith. Crescent-road, Knlghtetown, De cember 22,1880. Professor Gusscott, Chrtatcuurch, Sir,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the ofllcacy of your tonic for curing fits. My wife was for two years subject to that distressing complaint, but after using your tonio for the spaoo of two months, I am happy to say she has found herself thoroughly cured. She has not had an attack for six months. She also suffered muoh from spasms of the stomach.and I am happy to say the medicine has been benefi cial in curing that also, which gives me great confidence in your herbal treatment I shall recommend your tonio as superior to anything my wife* has tried before. The oure that yon have performed la a blessing to her and I, and fho'famiiy. Believe me to be yours ever grate tul, Thomas Coleman, Pott Lyttelton. Professor Guascott, South Town Belt. Sir,-] am happy to present to you tape-worm 87ft, long. When I came to you, you told me yon could core me In 18 hours, but I was rathei doubtful, but hearing you were rather hasty, ] dared not tell you I doubted your ability to oure me in suoh a short time, having been treated by many of the tomceopathio, allopathic, but none ever effected a cure. You told me that yot would charge me £1 for a cure, which I wat most happy to comply with your wishes on those conditions; also you told me you would refund my money back again If you did not d« so hi the presence of Mrs Qray and Mrs Adams, but I am happy to say that I prefer presenting you with the monster in preference of the money, I have shown this to many of my lady friends in this neighbourhood.—l remain, youra truly. Mrs Klina Thornton, Victoria-street. To Professor Gusscott. Sir.-Having been troubled with asthma for the last seven years, on several occasions I have been propped up In nod, and many times I had to get np and walls to get a breath of air, and bad 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 1 came to yon, you told nje ail my symptoms, which gave me confidence to place mysellundor your treatment, and being a believer in herbs, and seeing the large assortment in your estab lishment, and also the references from othci sufferers the same as myself, in looking back to the time of my Buffering so long and spending so roach money without receiving any benefit from the treatment until I applied to you. I re main, yours ever thankful, Donald Smith, Great King-street, Dnncdin, May 30th. To Professor Gnssoott, South Town Belt. Sir, —I have been troubled with neuralgia for this last twelve months, and suffered the most ex oruoiating pain. I have tried everything that ia advertised in the newspapers, besides medical aid. I was told that it originated from decayed teeth; that I knew to be wrong, for my teeth are porfootly sound. When I oamo to you, you told me that you would cure me, and that you would sell me a bottle tor six shillings, and that you would guarantee a perfeot cure, and I am happy to inform you that two applications ful filled your guarantee.—l am, yours ever truly, Mies M. Davidson, Colombo-street, October 7th,1880.
