Weavixg, ■ Robert Graham, Epq. Auckland, January 5,1875. Mr Robert 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 v ' of the efficacy of the Spring's in the cure of Bkeuma-. "■ '■ 'ism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year'GO, contracted through cold and wet work " ing on the West Coast, and from that timeunttll ' left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second hath I took brought hack all the' I rheumatic pains I had ever experienced indifferent i: 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 Kheumatism 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 iind themselves worse the first day or two; according to the general opinion it showsthe 1, action of the waters. Also I would recommend the drinking at least two or three glasses of watefboth' " 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 ■"''?#s Yours respectfully, .C. 11. WILLOUGHBY, . .'.;;' Auckland, 10th January, 1875. Dear Sir, — ■ ty In the interests of those who may be similarly : afflicted, and in recognition of tho 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 . _a 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. V since enjoyed the best of health. Yours truly, John Bent. . Robert Graham, Esq. ; . Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir,— Having suffered from rheumatism for 1 some time past, on the recommendation of my .. medical adviser, Dr. Turnbull, of Christchurch, I ~, visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks' batli- ' "., 1 ing and drinking the mineral water, I am restored to perfect health. In fact, I have not felt so well for ;v years as I am at present. The trio altogether has " been a most enjoyable one. I found the hotel comfortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and - " obliging, pleasant for tho invalid seeking health, or ■■'■['$ the man of business requiring taxation. Lknowof no mi placo in New Zealand where _ person conld pass a few weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs. ; Yours faithfully, J. J. FITZGIBBOK, Postmaster, Christchurch 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 tny back dislocated in consequence of which I lost the power of my limbs from the back downwards—lost all feeling in them; also, wasting r; and loss of fiesli en my legs. I was quite unable to . , p walk, and was in this state for about three yearscould 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 \ the 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 crutcheß, but I have 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; i miraculous' one, and feel sure thousands would visit the Springs if they only knew its valuable properties, I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful ,j thanks to Miss Home for the great kindness I ireceived while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the !. :■■).; kindness and attention paid to me by him. ' , ~-' I am, Sir, yours truly, s. t. Jom. ;■ Robert Graham, Esq. .: • :u ■ ■■ ' '&,,;1' 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 Bame. j* I suffered great; pain with swellings and stiffness in my joints. I was unable to take off my own boots, • and had to employ a cab to take me to the steamer ■ ■: when I had made np my mind to try your Springs ' After one weeks bathing, and drinking the water, I, ,: ~ got as well as ever I was, and have had no return of the pain, although it is now two weeks' since my recovery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. I am, Sir, ■ ■. ■; . < 1 ;.■ ,it <■ | Yours respectfully, . . y, George Bevebjpge. To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames, I9th May, 1878. Robert Graham, Esq,, / ■ «'; Auckland. Dear Sir, —I feel great pleasure in testifying to tha , • benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at !j> Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to - apt that time I had been subject to-attacks of Rheuma-,,,;,:; j tism, which would lay me up for weeks.at a time., ~ The use of the Springs proved, after this lapse of ■■/„. time to have taken the disease quite out- of nnyv-ss system, having had no relapse since that time. For ,- ,* three months before going to the Springs I had been :r.. totally unable to move without assistance from an ■', attack of sciatica. My object in writing to you is , '■'• that you may make this public, for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, without knowing where to obtain relief. My experience leads me,. ~ to believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacious for Rheumatism, Lumbago, or Sciatica, than all, the [ medicine the Doctors can give, and only requiresto ,_, be made known to become the great sanatorium for ~; the South Pacific. ■-■ -'"- -"■■ .'
