Mr Robert Graham, . . .^,- Sir -Understanding you are the proprietor of th I Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due to JOT S give a short account of my successfuljxperienw of the efiicacy of the Springs in the cure^or Bhenm* tism I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year'G9 contracted through cold and wet work Sot the West Coast, aud from that time unti left the Swings 1 had suffered periodically from the lam * The Tcond bath I took brought back aUth rheumatic pains I had ever experienced m differen narteof mvlxxly. At the end of a fortnight I was Kmll pains, vnth the exception of the. uUm which was always'the worst part affectec) and witl the exception of my feet being very tender from sc nmch hot bathing I am quit., a new man; I have no the slightest pain of Rheumatism about me, not: ever in the ankles. To parties visiting ttie Springs J should advise them not to feel alarmed « dtaap pointed if they find themselves worse the first day O two- according to the general opinion it shows th action of the waters. Also I would recommend th King at least, two or three glasses of water!bot on entering and leaving the bath; also, sweatingw the CS for which accommodation is providec in each bath; and to parties affected with acuti Klh umltism I think the more they use them tb« more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir Yours respectfully, C. 11. WmnouGHBY. Auckland, 10th January, 1575. Dear Sir,— In the interests of those who may be 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 Bent Rooert Graham, Esq. Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir,— Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser, X>r. Turnbull, 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. The trio 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 the man of business requiring laxation. I know of no place in New Zealand where a person cotild pass a few weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs Yours faithfully, J. J. FitzGibbon, 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 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 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 drauk at least ly pints of the water daily. After six week's battling I found the symptoms of life return to my legs. I could lift ( and use my legs as well as ever; got strong an I 1 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 most 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 thanks to Miss Home for tee great kindness I received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the loudness and attention paid to me by him. I am. Sir, yours truly, S. T. Joll ■Robert Graham, fisq. Auckland, ISth 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 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 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 re covery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, • Geokge Beveeidge. To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames, 19th May, 1875. Robert Graham, Esq., Auckland. Dear Sir.—l feel great pleasure in testifying to the benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawera in the year 186 S. For years prior to that time 1 had been subject to attacks o? 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 taken 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 ing 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, aud only requires to be made known to become the great sanatorium for the South Pacific. I am, dear Sir, ours very truly, Edwd. Honiss. OIBLES ! BIBLES ! BIBLES !
