MAUHAURANGI HOT SPRINGS.

THE Public is respectfully informed that a commodious Hotel has been erected at the Springs of "Wai Wera Wera," and that the Baths have been re-constructed and improved. The curative properties of these Waters have been well tested, and proved to be highly efficacious in cases of Consumption and Asthma, and a decided specific for Rheumatism, Debility and Neivousness— indeed, to those suffering fiom physical prostration and consequent depmsion of spirits they have acted as a perfect elixir The Residence accommodations are peculiarly adapted for Invalids, who will meet with the most solicitous attention. To those in health Wai Wfra Wera offers scarcely less inducement, for its Baths are preventive as well as curative, and it forms a pleasant marine retreat from the confinement o Town — and its sheltered site and picturesque neighbourhood affords the shaded forest walk and the pebbled sea-beach lounge, and abounds with wild-duck and pigeon, and the first-rate fishing. Private Rooms for families, if required. Wines, &c, of the best quality. All charges upon the most moderate scale. John Anderson, j " Wai Wera Wera is distant 20 odd miles I from Auckland, trading vessels to and from which call every day — Passage-money, 55."
