The healing virtues of these famous springs border on the miraculous, scores of persons afflicted with Paralysis, Rheumatism, Eruptions, Contracted and Stiff Joints, Gout, Lumbago, Skin Diseases, Sore Heads, and varieties of painful diseases have been restored to perfe<jt health through bathing in these marvellous springs, and drinking the mineral water, vrho gratefu _y bear testimony to the fact. The water has been pronounced the" most remarkable healing water in, the world, and effected most wonderful cures.

Wakefield-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 suflermg 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 clay and drank freely of the mineral •waters, at least a pint each day, and after six days J felt quite-well, free from pain, and can walk as well as ever I did. It is now elev**v days since I loft and have had no return of pain, xf this should induce any person suffering as I was to try the hot Datns, l feel sure they will get cured, and if so, serve the object I have in writing to you.—l am, sir, youj obedient servant, Taos. Weaving. Robert Graham, Esq. ..... Auckland, January 5,1875. Mr Robert Graham, . Sir,— Understanding you are the proprietor of tni Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due t9 you to gr»e a short account of my successful expenenc. of the efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Rheuma tism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism smc. the year '69, contracted through cold and wet work ing on tho West Coast, and from that tune until I left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the Bame. The second bath I took brought back all the rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in difierenl parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I wa. free from all pains, with the exception of the ankles (which was always the worst part affected), and witfc the exception of my feet being very tender from sc much hot bathing, lam quite a new man; I haye no the slightest pain of Rheumatism about me, not ever in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs 1 should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap pointed if they find themselves worse the first day oi two: according to the general opinion it shows th. action of the waters. Also I would recommend tht drinking at least iwo or three glasses of water noti on entering and leaving the bath; also, sweatingir the blankets, for which accommodation is provided in each bath; and to parties affected with acut_ Rheumatism I thin-: the more they use them th/ more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir Yours respectfully, C. H. WH-LOUGHB-. ' •* —■ . — ■--.-.-..--_-4. Auckland, 10th January, 1875. 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 vn-tues 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 Eobert Gf aham, S_sq. Robert Graham, Esq. ' Dear Sir,— Having: suffered from rheumatism for Borne time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser, Dr. Turnbull, of Christchurch; 1 visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks' bath ing and drinking the mineral water, I am restored to perfect health. In fact, 1 have not felt so well for years as I am at present. The 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 the man of business requiring taxation. 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. EitzGibbon, Postmaster, Christchurch ...J.' ' "New Plymouth; •— ■'■'■■ 27th April,, 1875. 3ir,—l desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of fthe 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, ana 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. ■bathea twice each day, and drank at least 1% pints oi 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 ana ■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 one, and feel sure thousands would visit 'the Springs ifi_hey only knew its valuable properties. I take this opportunity of expressing my gratefid thanks to Miss Home for the great kindness I received while at the Springs,, also Mr Home for tho kindness and attention paid to me by huh. iiiium-o j gir^ yotirg tru]y> V-:: ...

I was unable to take off my own boots,. 'and had to employ a cab to takeme to the steamer ;when I had made npmy mind to try your Springs, !After one week's bathing,' and drinking the water, I cot as weU as ever I was,and have had no return of 'the pain, although it is now two weeks' since -my re !cpvery, which I look upon almost like a miracle. * ' ._*_' " ~ I am, Sir, *! y. - Yours respectfully, ■—. ■ GiEOBGi: BEVEBInGE. [To Eotert Graham, Esq. ■ Thames, 19_i May, 1875. fi-tobertGraham,Esq,, , , ~-, , ' Auckland. ' YDear Sii.,—l feel great pleasure in testifying to the I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at IWaiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to ithat time I hid been subject to attaoksof Rheuma •tism, which would lay me up for,WQeks at a time. iThe use of the Springs proved,..after this lapse of 'time to have taken the disease quite out of my Wstem, having had no relapse since- that time. For three months before going to .the Springs, I had been •totdHy unable to move without aissißtahce from an attack of sciatica. .My object, in writing to you is that you may make this public, for the benefit .'of. ethers 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, and only requires to be made known to become the great sanatorium for the South Pacific.
