Mr Wallis having studied at Mr Smedley's Institution, is thoroughly conversant with the practical as well as theoretical part of this wonderful curative process. The following are cases which can be cured by this process : Nervous Debility Neuralgia Liver and Stomach Complaints Rheumatic Fever Rheumatism Dropsy Tumours, Hydratid and Fluid Diabetis. if not too far advanced Bronchitis Inflammation in Chest, Stomach, and Kidneys Illnesses to which children are subject, even in their last stages, can be cured by this gentle mode of treatment Heart Disease and Consumption are out of the reach of this treatment, S. WALLIS, Practical Hydropathist. Christchurch, August Ist, 1876. Mr Wallis. Dear Sir,—l cannot leave your establishment without thanking you for you kindness and skill; when I came to you six weeks since, the pain I suffered in my head was unbearable. I was given up by two Christchurch MD.'s, but under your treatment I have lost all pain and gained flesh. Wishing you every success, I remain, yours truly, Joks Wilson, Whately road, Christchurch. It is two years since I had this patient; he has no relapse. —S. Wallis. Mr S. Wallis. Dear Sir, —I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the remarkable cure you effected en my child, aged six months, who was sufFeriDg from dysentery and inflammation in the bowels ; when first seen by you he was sinking fast, and almost beyond hope, but under your care in a few days he was out of danger. I remain, yours obediently, John Hern, Range Manufacturer, Manchester street, Christchurch. Wellington, March 27th, 1877. Mr Wallis. Dear Sir, —As you anticipated, I am still gaining strength. I have been in a situation for a month now. I find it very pleasant to get to work again You may rest assured I feel grateful to you for the cure efiected, having tried several eminent M.D.'s in New Zealand without any benefit. I went to England for only the same result; after about three years' wretchedness I came to you as a last resource, completely broken down from nervous debility. After three months of your treatment I am a marvel to my friends. Again thankiDg you, I remain, yours truly, Frank Fane, 3045 Wellineton. TO HENRY THOMSON, Esq. MAiOK OF CHRISTCHURCH. DEAR SIR,—We, the undersigned Burgesses of the city of Christchurch, fully appreciating the thoroughly indepen dent and business like manner in which you have discharged the duties of the Mayoralty during the current year, hereby request that you will permit yourself to be nominated for the office for the ensuing term, and pledge ourselves heartily to support your candidature. Yours, &c, (Signed) ANDREW DUNCAN. P. CUNNINGHAM; A. W. BICKEKTON. J. D. MACPHERSON. And 157 others. To Messrs A. Duncan, R. Cunningham, A. W. Bickerton, J. D. Macpherson, and 157 other gentlemen signing the requisition.
Gentlemen —I thank you most heartily for the very influentially- signed requisition this day placed in my hands, asking me to allow myself to be nominated for the office of Mayor, and for the very complimentary terms you have been pleased to uro in referring to the manner in which I have discharged the duties of the Mayoralty during the current year. It gives me great pleasure to accede to your request, and I now place myself in the hands of my fellow-citizens for re-election. During my term of office I found the duties of the Mayoralty, combined with those of Chairman of the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, so onerous as to requite for their proper discharge very much more time than anyone actively engaged in business could possibly spare ; but I am now in a position which will enable me to devote the whole of my time, if necessary, to the requirements of the office, and on that account feel more confidence in again soliciting the votes of the electors. It is quite true that I cannot point to either lamp or fountain as a memorial of my zeal on behalf of the city's interests, yet I may fairly claim the greatest share of the credit in securing the 800 acres reserve at the Sandhills, the revenue from which, in a few years, will greatly lighten the burdens of the ratepayers. The improvements in Cathedral square, as originally suggested by me, have been carried out, and although opposed at first, are now universally approved. I am quite alive to the absolute necessity for securing an ample and permanent supply of water for the citv, and am prepared to devote both time and energy to the attainment of that object. The erection of new Municipal Offices and Town Hall is also a necessity, and will have my best support. With the year's experience I have had of the duties of the office, and encouraged by the Mattering terms in which you have referred to my discharge of them, I hope, should you do me the honor of re-electing me, to bu able still more efficiently to fill the position of your Chief Magistrate; and, having no private interests to serve, will continue in the future, as I always have done in the past, to devote my best energies to the advancement of our prosperous and rising city, and the 'conservation of the interests of the ratepayers. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, H. Thomson. Christchurch, 14th November, 1878. 3016 ÜbT UINPA.
