The water has been pronounced the most remarkable healing water in the world, and effected most wonderlui cures.

Sir —TTaYiuff 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 tban a mouth the most excruciating pam from rheu matic pout, had to bo lifted in and.out of bed, in fact was unable to walk without the use of two sticks. It 'ook me auhour to walk from Wakeneld-street to the 'Lady Bowen.1 Alter getting to the faprmgs I bathed twice a day and drank freely of tho. mineral waters, at least a pint each day, and after six days J felt quite well, free from pain, and can walk: as wel as ever I did. It is now elov.r-> days since I left.and have had no return of palu. *i' this should induce any person suffering as I was to try the hot baths I feel sure they will get cured, and if so, servo t object I have in writing to you.—l am, Bir, you] obedient servant, Thos. Wcavko. Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, January 5,1875. Mr Robert Graham, . , ~ Sir —Understanding you are the proprietor ot tnc Hot Snrincs at Waiwera, I think it is only due to you to em- o, short account of my successful experience of the emcV.cv of the Springs in the cure ot Km-iini* tism I hadbeen suffering from Rheumatism Bincf Hie year '09 contracted through cold and wet work ing on "the West Coast, and from that time until left the Springs 1 had suffered periodically from the same. The second bath I took brought back all Al w rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in. amereu parts of my body. At the end of a tor night lw. free from all pains, with the exception of the aat « (which was always the worst part aftecteel), and Witt the exception of my feet being very tender from sc much hot bathing I am quite a new man; I havono the (slightest pain of Kneumatism about me not ever in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs J should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap pointed if they find themselves worse the iirst day OJ two; according to the general opinion it shows th action of the waters. Also I would recommend tlu drinking at least two or three glasses of water botr on entering and leaving the bath: ateo, BWeatogiE the blankets, for which accommodation is . novidf.c in each bath; and to parties affected with acu Bheumatism I tliink the more tiiey use tnem m< more t>ijcedy will bs the cure.

D lnr thsfinterests of those who may bo similarlj afflicted, and in recognition of the benefits I derived at your sanatorium, the Waiwera Hot Springs, -.. desire to record the efficacy of the baths and water in the cure of-Dyspepsia, from which I^^^CMec many months. Thanks, however, to tho virtuesiol the mineral water*-, topcether with a free use erf ba v I was relieved of the distressing symptoms, and li<i\. Bince enjoyed the beat of John Bent Itorjert Graham, Esq. ESf^-Ha'S- S uffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser, Dr. Turnbull. of Christchurch.l 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 trip altogether lias been a most enjoyable one. I found the hotel com fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and obliging, pleassitA for the invalid seeking health or the man of busies requiring laxation. I know ot no place in New Zealand where a person could pass a few weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs. Yours faithfully, J. J. FiTzGißßOsr, IPostmaster, Christchurch New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. 3ir —I desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of I the Waiwera Hot Springs, and as my case is a peculiar one I shall briefly state it. About four years ago I ha!'the spine of my back dislocated in coMequenco of which I lost the power of my hmbs from the back downwards-lost all feeling in them; also, wtas and loss of flesh on my legs. »I was quite unable to w°lk,andwas in this state for about three years could not tarn in my bed without assistance Last October I went to tho Hot Springs, Waiweral and bathed twice each day, and drank at east l% pints o 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 ablo to do without them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yards at a time without them. I consider the cure amort 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 the great kindness I received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the kindness and attention paid to me by him . i I am. Sir, yours truly, S. T. JoLLi ttofiert Graham. tSsq. ' Auckland, ISfli May, 1575. Sir —I aesire 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 mn-acle. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, Gjjobge Beveridge. ' To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames, 10th May, 1875. Kobert Graham, Esq,, Auckland. Dear Sir.—l feel great pleasure in testifying to the benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawora^ in the year 18C8. 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 iiso of the Springs proved, after this lapse of time to have taken the disease quite out of my Rystein, 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 tho Doctors can give, and only requires to be made known to become the great sanatorium for the South. Pacific. i ■* -w ■'' I am, dear Sir, ours very truly.
