December 14,1874. - Sir,— Having derived much benefit from bathing in your Hot Springs, "Waiwera, I think it is a duty that I owe to the public—especially suffering humanity—that my case should be made known. ' Before I went to the Springs I suffered for more - than a month the most excruciating pain from rheu- ' matic gout, had to be lifted in and out of bed, in ' fact was unable to walk without the use of two sticks ■ It took me an hour to walk from Wakefield-street to >' , the 'Lady Bowen.' After getting to the Springs I ' bathed twice a day and drank freely of the mineral-•■ waters, at least a pint each day, and after six days I felt quite well, iree from pain, and can walk as well as ever I did. It is now e\e\c " days since I left and have had no return of pain. ii this should induce ;■, any person suffering as I was to try the hot baths, I feel sure they will get cured, and if so, serve, the ' object I have inwriting to you.—l am; shy your-, ■■■ be'dient servant, Thos. Weaving, Robert Graham, Esq. , Auckland, January 5,1875. -; " > Mr Robert Graham, ti;- :: :.t Sir, —Understanding you are the proprietor of theHot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due to you to give a short account of my successful experience" of the efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Rheumy. - tism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since . the year'o9, contracted through cold and wet work ;': ing on the West Coast, and from that time untill'Uleft the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second bath I took brought back all the" rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in different ■■■-. parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I was free from all pains, with the exception of the ankles, (which was always the worst part affected), and with' the exception of my feet being very tender from so ; ,.' much hot bathing I am quite a new man; I have not.■.., the slightest pain of Rheumatism about me, not even ', in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs I ■' should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap- , pointed if they find themselves worse the first day or two; according "to the general opinion it shows the ' action of the waters. Also I would recommend the;drinking at least two or three glasses of water both' on entei-ing and leaving the bath; also, sweating in-'-; the blankets, for which accommodation is provided,:* in. each bath; and to parties affected with acute r ' Rheumatism I think the more they use them the " more Bj>eedy will be the cure. ' "•'v' I remain, sir . Yours respectfully, ' C. H. WmcxroGHßT. Auckland, 10th January, 1875^ ■ ( Dear Sir, — In the interests of those who may be similarly afflicted, and in recognition of the benefits I derived: at your sanatorium, the Waiwera Hot Springs* a.' desire to record the efficacy of the baths and water, in the cure of Dyspepsia, from which I had suffered' '■ many months. Thanks, however, to the virtues of - the mineral waters, together -with a free use of baths,,; I was relieved of the distressing symptoms, and have *. ; since enjoyed the best of health. :■'- .,;,-■ Yours truly, John Bent. ~ Robert Graham, Esq. . J ; ,; Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir,—Having suffered from rheumatism for : some time past, on the recommendation of: my , ; medical adviser Dr. Turnbull, of ■ Christchurch, I visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks' bath- ■ ing and drinking the mineral waterj I am restored to;* perfect health. In'fact, I have not felt so well for years as I am at present. The trip altogether has: been a most enjoyable one. I found the hotel com-; s fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and f obliging, pleasant for the invalid seeking health, or ' ~ the man of business requiring laxation. I knowof nd'< \ place in Hew Zealand where a person could pass a f few weeks more agreeably than a t your Hot Springs... Yours faithfully, J. J. FITZGIBBON.,, ; Postmaster, Chrißtchurch. New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. Sir,—l desire to bear testimony to the'efficacy of > the Waiwera Hot SpringF, ana as my case is apeculiar ■ one, I shall briefly state it. About four years ago I . had the spine of my back dislocated, in consequence i of which I lost the power of my limbs from the tack downwards—lost all feeling in them; also, wasting ■ and loss of flesh on my legs. I was quite unable to ■ walk, and was in this state for about three years---* could not turn in my bed without assistance. Last; October I went to the Hot Springs, Waiwera, and bathed twice each day, and drank at least I}£ pints oi.s th» water daily. After six week's bathing I found the symptoms of life return to my legs. I could lift and use my legs as well as ever; got strong w& healthy; all pain and weakness left me. Owingto;, the dislocation of my back I still use crutches, but I have no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without.; them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yardsatA* time without them. I consider the cure a most ( miraculous one, and feel sure thousands would_vlfflt' the Springs if they only knew its valuable propertfe*.' I take this opportunity of expressing my gratenu.. thanks to Miss Home for the great kutdnsss I, received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for tne kindness and attention paid to me by aim. -_- •~■ w> • I am, Sir, yours truly, ■ ;_. ; , S. T. Jolli Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, 18th May, 1875^.; Sir —I desire to give publicity to the wonderful, cure I had while at your Waiwera Sanatorium. ,_i ~,. was suffering from Rheumatic Fever, was sixweera in the Hospital under medical treatment for s^nj.) I suffered great pain with swellings and sbffnesf mmy joints. I was unable to take off fy°^.]»°°' and had to employ a cab to take me to the steamer when I had made up my mind to.try your Spongy ■ After one weeks bathing, and drinking the water, i got as well as ever I was, and have bad no retumoi the pain, although it is now two weekß'since my re- . covery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. ~ lam, Sir, '~ Yours respectfully, Geobge BKVKBIDaE.
