Mecuoal. '.'i A FEW OF THE WONDERFUL CURBS BY pROFESSOR QUSSCOTT. Professor Gussoott South Town Bolt. Dear Sir,—l have been tronblod with nervous debility for the past eiicht years, brought on as you have explamod in the "Canterbury Times, by the indiscretion of early youth. I have epent scores of pounds first with one and then with another, but never received any pormanont benefit. Some said that I had heart dlseace, others that I wob consumptive, but when I wroto to yon from the Rakaia you explained my symptomsso exactly that I was induced to come to town at onoe though you toldmoyoucouldtreatmeequal ly as well by stoppingand attending tomy work as In losing time by coming to town. I waa unfit for work, go decided to come to town for a spell, as I could neither eat nor sleep. My mind wandered; I had a dceirs to bo away from oom pany, and yet when alono my own company waß hateful to me. I was troubled with the most hideous dreams, and was In that low. nervous Btato which made me sometimes feel as if death would be a happy release. My head achod, my heart palpitated violently, I would start almoet at my own shadow. My mind, in fact, was not my own. I saw you on my arrival in town, when you were in Mancheßtcr-street, and you then told me that It would take three months at the very least to eflect a perfeot cure, and that I must comply exactly with your instructions; if not, you would not guarantee a cure. lam now happy to say that I did as you told mo to the very regulating my hours and habits, and that now, after the lapse of Ilf toon weeks, my memory is restored, my sight has become strong again my mind has oeasod to wander, i oan enjoy oompany, and, in short, Riohard's himself again. I should not go to the trouble of describ ing so minutely my sufferings, but that I know of so many young men who are living secluded lives, whose Bufferings are precisely what my own were before I came to yon, and who. although io health, would be really amiable and estimable persona, are looked upon as gloomy, morose, and uneooiable men simply because Of that phase of the disease which I have named, a hatred for company, if this should be read by any of those persons, suffering as I did, and they are induced to apply to yon for relief, I will guarantee that they will say altor a few weeks that they never laid out a more profitable sum of money than when they came to Professor Busscott—Believe me, yours faithfully, Richard Dobson. P.S. -1 return to my work to-morrow, and I know my friends will be agreeably astonished at my pre sent appearance, Viotoria-Btreot, Chrlstohuroh. Jan. 20.1880. To Professor GusKsott, South Town Belt Dear Sir.—When 1 appied to you I had been Buffering with the dropsy for this last four years. Before I left Wellington! had been under throe different doctors, but never received any benefit from them. I was advised to oomo to Christohuroh for b change of climate, but finding there was no ohange for the better, I was advieod to be tapped by the dootors, who told me that was the only hope there was for ma. I have always hoard it said that when anyone is tapped there is no cure : but 1 am happy to say that when I applied to you, you said you could cure me in nix weeks, providing that I went by your instruc tions ; also, when you Bhowed 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 oured in the part of Lancashire that I Bame from, I knew that I oould 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 yonr treatment. —I am, yours ever grateful, Sarah Fetch. To Professor Guflscott South Town Belt. Sir. —1 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 Bor plaint for several years ; in fa ot I was bo bad that I waa not ablo to attend to my business. My face was aa yellow as gold. I oould not eat -not snfflolent 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 iown my back. I oould not sleep on my lett tide. It !b quite unnecessary to tell you that I iavo tried several things in the ohemißta' shops, but I found it was only money thrown away; aut hearing of so many who have been under pour treatment, and all of them speaking so lighlyof you, I thought it better to give you a irial, and I am happy to say that after two nonthsof your treatment lam a new man. I iow eat heartily and everything agrees with ne. With many thanks, lam yours respect lully, William Jenkins, Armagh-etreet Feb ruary 1881.
