Medical. FEW OF THE WONDERFUL CURES BY pROFESSOR riUSSCO-T. Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt. Dear Sir,—l have been troubled with nervous debility for tho past eight years, brought on as you have explained in the " Canterbury Times," by the indiscretion of early youth. I have spent scores of pounds first with one and then with another, but never received any permanent benefit. Some said that I had heart disease, others tbat I was consumptive, but when I wrote to you from the Kakaia you explained my symptoms so exactly that I wafl induced to come to town at once,though you told mey ou oould treat mo equal ly as well by stopplngandatton ding tomyworkas in losing time by coining to town. I was unfit for work, so decided to come to town for a spell, as I could neither eat nor sleep. My mind wandered; I had a desire to be away from com pany, and yet whon alonomy own company was hateful to mo. I was troubled with tho moat hideous dreams, and was in that law, neivous state which made me sometimes feel as if death would be a happy release. My head ached, my heart palpitated violently, I wonld start almoßt at my own shadow. My mind, In fact, was not my own. I saw you on my arrival in town, when you were In Manchestor-stroet, and you then told me that it would take tbreo months at the very least to effect a perfect cure, and tbat I must comply exactly with.your instructions; If not, you would not guarantee a euro. lam now happy to say that I did as yon told me to the very regulating my hours and habits, aud tbat now, of tor the lapse of fifteen weeks, my memory, Ib restored, my sight has become strong again my mind has ceased to wander. I can enjoy company, ond, in short, lliohard's himself again. I should not go to the trouble of describ ing so minutely my Bufferings, but that I know of bo many yonng men who are living seolnded lives, whose sufferings are precisely what my own were beforo I oame to you, and wHo, although in health, woald be really amiable and estimable persons, are looked upon as gloomy, morose,.aud unsociable men simply because of that phase of the disease which I bave named, a hatred for company. If this should be read by any of those persons, suffaring as I did; and they are Induced to apply to you for relief, I will guarantee that they will say after a few weeks that they never laid out a more profitable sum of money than whon they came to Professor Gusscott Believe me, yours faithfully, Richard Dobson. P.S. — I return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends will be agreeably astonished at my pre sent nppearance, Vlotoria-Btreot, Chrlßtohuroh. Jan. 20,1880. To Professor Gussoott, South Town Belt. Blr, —lam happy to present you with the gravel you took from me. You will find npon weighing it that the nett weigh tia 14 groins. In doing so, I may state that prior to consulting you 1 had tried all the medical men in town, without ob taining any relief. Aooldentally meeting Mr Williams, of this town, he related to me how you had cured him of the same complaint, and strongly advised me to consult you. This I reluctantly did, as I had beoome quite dis heartened with what 1 had hitherto only proved attempted cures, and had ultimately resulted in absolute failure. After giving you a short trial, however, Ibecamo convinced tbat youra was no attempted cure, .and the result proved my convictions quite correct, for in 15 days I was going about in a perfectly sound state of health, I am well-known in Ashburton.—l am, yours ever truly, John Harrison. Jan. 9, i 1881. HTo Professor Gusscott, Sonth Town Belt. Dear I Sir,—When I npp led to you I had been suffering with the dropsy for this last four years. Before I left Wellington I had been under three different dootors. but never received any benefit from them. I was advised to come to Christchurch for a ohange of climate, but finding there was no ohange for the better, I was advised to be tapped by the doctors, who told mo that was i the only hope there waa lor me. I havo always hoard it said that when anyone is tapped there is no oure ; bnt 1 am happy to say that when I applied to you, you said you could oure me in bl_ weeks, providing that I went by your instruc tions ; also, when you showed us the different assortments and the quantity that you have, my hasband made up his mind at once, and being a believer in herbs and the many hopeless oases 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 publicly acknowledge the great benefit that I have derived from your treatment, —I am, yours ever grateful, Sarah Petoh. To Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt. Sir, —I think It my duty to give you my testimonial in respect of the curative treatment of your Herbal Tonic. I have been suffering from liver complaint for several years; in fact I was so bad that I was not able to attend to my business. My face was as yellow as gold. I could not eat —not Buffioient 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 the heart,' with a continu ally burning pain. ' I had cold chills running down my back, I could not sleep on my lett Bide. It is quito unnecessary to tell you that I have tried several things in the chemißts' shops, but I found it was only money thrown away; but hearing of so many who have been under your treatment, and all ot them speaking so highly of you, I thought it better to give yon 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 Gusscott, Sonth Town Belt. Dear Blr,—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 tbe care of several doctors, I never received any benefit trom them, but got weaker both in body and mind daily, so much so that I was almost worn to a skeleton; but hearing ot the wonderful cures you had made, I made up my mind that I would eomo and consult you. When I oame to you, you explained all my symptoms bo minutely that I was perfectly satisfied to place myself under your treatment. You told me that yon would make a perfect oure of me for five pounds, for which I gave you a cheque for the amount. At that time everything that I ate went bout on my stomach, and was constantly rifting wind and gas. I had a continual palpitation, and violent pains under the left breast, pains betweon the shoulder blades. I had always cold chills, cold hands and feet, and felt as if somoone was pouring cold water down my baok. lam happy now to inform' you that I am free from all my former complaints. I can-now eat well and sleep well, and I shall always be happy to reoommend onyono suffering from the same. Believe me to be, youTB evor grateful, Mrs Blrme. Kaiapoi Island, Kaiapoi, November 13th, 1881. To Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt, Christohuroh i Dear Sir,-I havo long been wishing to give you a testimonial for the suc cessful way in which you treated me. I have been under several doctors in this town, and I 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 the district of New Brighton, Chrißtchurch. 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, thanks to Providence, In two months you re stored me to perfeot health. Witnessed by Goorgo Newton, who was staying at my house. Believe me to be yours, ever grateful, Robert Wildsmith. Crescent-road, Knight-town, De cember 22,1880. Professor Gusscott, Christohuroh, Sir,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the efficacy ot your tonic for curing fits. My wife was for two years subject to that distressing complaint, bm after using your tonio for the Bpaoe of two months, I am happy to say she has found herself thoroughly cured. She has not hod on attack for six months. She also suffered much from spasms of the stomaoh.and I am happy to say the medicine has been benefi cial in curing that also, whioh gives me great confidence in your herbal treatment. I shall recommend your tonio as superior to anything my wife has tried beforo. The oure thot you have performed is a blessing to her and I, and the|family. Believe mo to bo yours ever grate ful, Thomas Coleman, Poit Lyttelton. To Professor Gusscott. Sir—Having been troubled with asthma for the last seven years, on several oocastons I have been propped up in Ded, and many times I had to get up and wolk to get a breath of air, and bad become so bad that I was not abie to attend to my business; in fact, I bad become a burden to myself and the people with whom I was stopping. When I came to yon, you told me all my symptoms, which gave me confidence to place myself under your treatment, and being a believer in herbs, ond seeing the large assortment in your estab lishment, and also the references from other sufferers the Borne as myself, in looking back to the time of my BUfforlng bo long and Epending soMfioh money without receiving any benefit from the treatment until I applied to you. I re main, yours ever thankful, Donald Smith, Great King-street, Dunedin, May 30th. To Professor Gusscott, South Town Belt. Sir. —I have been troubled with neuralgia for this last twelve months, and Buffered the most ex cruciating pain. I have tried everything that is advertised in the newspapers, besides medical odd. I wos told that it originated from decayed teeth; that I knew to bo wrong, for my teeth ore perfectly sound. When I cams to you, you told me that you would cure me, and that you would Bell me a bottle for six Bhlllings, and that you would guarantoe a perfeot oure, and I am happy to inform you that two applications ful filled your guarantee.-I am, yours ever truly, Miss M, Davidson, Colombo-street.
