SALE OF DESIRABLE HOUSEHOLD AND FREEHOLD PROPERTY KNOWN AS THAT OF THE LATE WILLIAM HOB&ON, ESQ., HOBSON, COOK Sr NELSON-STREETS. UNRIVALLED OPPORTUNITY OF ACQUIRING FREEHOLDS IN THE HEART OF AUCKLAND. GEO. W. BINNEY, FAVORED with instructions from Captain Henry Burton, will sell by auction, on the ground, on Wednesday, the Gth October, at 12 o'clock, the following splendid properties :— Hobson and Cook-streets : 13 Building Allotments. • Very Superior 12-roomed Dwelling - house, Coach-houso, Stable, &c., and Section on which same are situate. Nelson-street : 7 Building Allotments. This is a chance rarely to be met with for persons to acquire Freeholds in the City, so close to the main centres of population, with all the advantages of the suburbs. Among others which this propcry poSßSesses are the following :— The construction of the Graving Dock on the re claimed ground at the foot of Hobson-street; the con tinuation of Custom-house-street to Nelsen and Hob son-streets, the whole to be properly graded. The Harbour Board reclamation in Freeman's Bay —all being now undertaken, and in course of comple tions—alike point to the certainty of an increase in value of the properties immediately in the neighbour hood of these improvements. While the outlay of capital on other works for the benefit of the Port of Auckland must rf suit in making Hobson-street (from its superior elevation and improved gradients) the principal outlet for the immense traffic to be created and sustained by really reproductive works such as the above have in other places proved themselves to be. The property must in a few yesuw, from Us superlor"natural advantages, rival, if not excel, in value that of Queen-street, and the lucky possessor will then obtain annually a sum equivalent to the fee simple of to-day; and not least, the very liberpl • terms offered by the vendor enable the energetic pushing man of business, with limited capital, successfully to compete with others of larger means. To sum up, as an investment this offers all the prize, •With none of the risks of mining speculation. The Block is sub-divided, so as to give section holders the advantage of a double frontage wherever possible. Lithographic Plans of the property may be obtained at the office of the Auctioneer, where apian on a large scale is on view. , Luncheon provided.

The healing virtues of these famous springs border on the miraculous, scores of persons afflicted with Paralysis, Eheumatism, Eruptions, Contracted and Stiff Joints, Gout, Lumbago, Skin Diseases, Sore Heads, and varieties of painful diseases have been restored to perfect health through bathing in these marvellous springs, and drinking the mineral water, who gratefully bear testimony to the fact. The water lias been pronounced the most remarkable healing water in the world, and effected most wonderful cures. TO THE TOURIST OR PLEASURE SEEKER IN LUSTY HEALTH the Waiwera Hot Springs will be a source of amaze naent and delight. The scenery in the neighbourhood is diversified and picturesque, and affords abundant material for the Botanist, Geologist, Painter, Poet or Recluse. THE FAMILY HOTEL is fitted with every convenience for comfort. A wel supplied table is provided, and this, coupled with excellent accommodation, attention, civility, and moderate charges, leave nothing the most fastidious can desire. A Yacht is kept for the use of visitors. There is fishing, shooting, and other pastimes for the strong or convalescent. Steamers leave Auckland (which is only 24 miles distant) for the Hot Springs twice a week, and there are two conveyances twice a week overland. Wakefteld-street, Auckland, 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 Buttering 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 c;m walk as well as ever I did. It is now elev«* days since I left and have had no return of pain. *.£ 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 obedient servant, Thos. Weaving. Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, January 5,1875. Mr Robert Graham, Sir,— Understanding you are tho 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 cfticacy of the Springs in the cure of Rheuma tism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year 'G9, 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 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 lam 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 tho 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 entering and leaving the bath ; also, sweating in the blankets, for which accommodation is provided iv 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. 11. WILI.OUGIIUY. Auckland, 10th January, 1875. Dear Sir, — \ 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 Buffered many months. Thanks, however, to tho 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. Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir,—Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser, Dr. Turubull, of Christchurch, I visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks'bath ing 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. Tho trip altogether has been a most enjoyable one. I found the hotel com fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and obliging, pleasant for the invalid seeking health, or tho man of business requiring laxation. I know of no place in New Zealand where a person could pass a few weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs. Yours faithfully, J. J. FiTzGinnoN, Postmaster, Christchurch New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. Sir.—l desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of tho Waiwera Hot Spring?, and as my case is a peculiar ono, 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 fi-om the back 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 l>rf 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 crutches, but 1 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 moßt miraculous one, and feel sure thousands would visit the Springs if they only knew its valuable propertiee. I take this opportunity 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. JoLLj 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 six weeks in the Hospital under medical treatment for same. 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 up my mind to try your Springs? After one weekß 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 re covery, which I look upon almost bike a miracle. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, 0 Gkobge Beveridge. - To Eobert Graham, Esq. Thames, 19th May, 1875. Robert Graham, Esq., AiTckland. Dear Sir —I feel great pleasure in testifying to the benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to that time I had been subject to attacks of Rheuma tism, which would lay me up for weeks at a time. The use of the Springs proved, after this lapse of time to have tiiken the disease quite out of my system, having had no relapse since that time. For three months before going to the Springs I had been 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 know hag where to obtain relief. My experience leads me to believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacious for Rheumatism, Liimbago, or Sciatica, than all the medicine the Doctors can give, and only requires to be made known to become the great sanatorium for the South Pacific. I am, dear Sir, Yoiirs very truly, Edwd. ITONisa. /CLEARING SALE OF DRAPERY Kj AND CLOTHING FOR ONE MONTH! Stock has been Re-marked at Cost Price.
