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 Buffering 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 rheumatic gout, had to be lifted in and out of bed, in fact, was unable to walk without the use of tyro 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 elevr " days since I left and have had no return of pain, xf 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 in writing to you.—l am, sir^your bedient servant, THOS. Weayimg. Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, January 5,1875, Mr Eobert Graham, Sir, —Understanding you are the proprietor of the Hot 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 Bheumatism. I had been suffering from Kheumatism sinco the year '69, contracted through cold and wet work ing on the West Coast, and from that time until I left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second bath I took brought back all tha 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 lam quite a new man; Thave 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 disappointed if they find themselves worse the first day or two; according to the general opinion it shows tha action of the waters. Also I would recommend tha drinking at least two or three glasses of waterboth. on entering and leaving the bath ; also, sweating in the blankets, for which accommodation is provided in each bath; and to parties affected with acute Rheumatism I think the more they use them the more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir Yours respectfully, C. H. WIILOUGHBT. Auckland, 10th January, 1875. Dear Sir,— „ - In the interests of those who may b& 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 Bknt. Robert Graham, Esq. Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir, —Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my n:edical adviser, Dr. Turnbull, of Christdrarch, I visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks' bathing and drinking the mineral water, 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 comfortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and obliging, pleasant for the invalid seeking health, or the man of business requiring taxation. I know of no place in New Zealand where a person could pass it few weeks more agreeably than at Yours faithfully, J. J. FitzGibboh, Postmaster, Gbristchurch. New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. Sir,—l desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of the Waiwera Hot Springs, and as my case is a peculiar one, I shall briefly state it. About four years ago I had the spine of my back dislocated, in consequence of which I lost the power of my limbs from the back downwards —lost all feeling in them; also, wasting and loss of flesh on my legß. 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 1^ pints of tha 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 and healthy; all pain and weakness left me. Owing to the dislocation of my back I still use crutches, but I hare no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yards at a time without them. I consider the cure a most miraculous one, and feel sure thousands would visit. the Springs if they only knew its valuable protiertieß. * I take this oprortunity of expressing my grateful thanks to Miss Home for the great kindness I received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the kindness and attention paid to me by him. I am, Sir, yours truly, S. T. Joii Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, 18th May, 1875. Sir,—l desire to give publicity to the wonderful cure I had while at your Waiwera Sanatorium. I was suffering from Rheumatic Fever, was six weeks in the Hospital under medical treatment for «*mt. I suffared great pain with swellings and stiffness in my joints. I was unable to taka off my own boots, and had to employ a cab to take me to tha stcamar when I had made tip my mind to try your Springs After one week's bathing, and drinking the water, I got as well as ever I wds, and hare had no return of the pain, although it <is nowtwo weeks'since myr#; coyery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, Gkobgb Beyebidgk. To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames, 19th Kay, 187 S. Bobert Graham, Esq., Auckland. Dear Sir.—l feel great pleasure in testifying to tha benefits X derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior t* that time I had been subject to attacks of Rh«iuaa« tism, which would lay me up for weeks at a time. The use of the Spring! proved, after this lapse of time to have taken the disease quite out ot\ xiy system, having had no relapse sine* that time. Tor three months before going to tha Springs I had beea totally unable to move without assistance from »* attack of sciatica. My object in writing to /yo» is that you may make this public, for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, without kkowing where to obtain ralief. My experience leads me to believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacieus for Rheumatism, Lumbago, or . Sciatica, than all the medicine the Doctors can give, and only requires to be made known to become the grsat sanatorium for the South Pacific. lam, dear Sir, Yours very truly, Edwd. Hokim.
