The healing virtues of these famous springs border on the miraculous, scores of persons afflicted with Paralysis, Rheumatism, Eruptions, Contracted and Stiff Joints, Gotlt, Lumbago, Skin Diseases, Sore Heads, and varieties of painful diseafss have been restored to perfect health through bathing in these marvellous Kprings, 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 m LUSTY HEALTH the W»iW6ra Hot Springs will bo a source of amaze Vttellt and deliflllt.

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. WaUefield-street, Auckland, December 14,1874. Sir,-—Bavinf? derived much benefit from bathing in your Hot Springs, Waiwera, I think it is a duty that I o>v? to the public—especially suffering humanity—that iv.y case should be made known. Before I went to the Springs I suffered for more than a month th* most excruciating pain from rheu matic gout, had to bo lifted in and out of bed, in fact was unable to walk without the use of two sticks, ( It'ook mo an hour to walk from Wakefleld-sfcreet to f 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, Ires from pain, and can walk as well as ever r did. It is now olevr" days since I left and have had no return of pi-in. id this should induce any person suffering aa I waa 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, youi obedient servant, THOB. Weaving. Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, January 5,1875. Mr Robert Graham, Sir,—Understanding you are the proprietor of the Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it in only due to you to give a short account of my successful experience of the efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Ilheuma tism. I had'been suffering from Rheumatism since the year '09, contracted through cold and wet work ing on the West Coa3t, and from that time until 1 left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second bath I took brought back aU thf rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in different parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I war free from all pains, with the exception of the ankles (which was always the worst part affected), and witr. the exception of my feet being very tender from sc much hot bathing lam quite a new man; I have no' the slightest pain of Khenmatism about me, not ever in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs ] 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 the action of the waters. Also I would recommend the drinking at least two or three glasses of water botli on entering and leaving the bath; also, sweating in the blankets, for which accommodation is provided in each bath; and to parties affected -with acut< Rheumatism I think the more they use them tlu more speedy will be tho cure. I remain, sir Yours respectfully, C. H. WILLOUGHBY. 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 freo use of baths, I was relieved of the distressing symptoms, and have since enjoyed the best of health. Yours truly, John Bent. "Robert Granam, Esq. Robert Graham, Esq. Dear Sir, —Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser. Dr. 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 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 laxation. I know of no place in New Zealand where a person could pass a lew weeks more agreeably than at your Hot Springs Yours faithfully, J. J. FitzGibbon, Postmaster, Christchurch ■ ;, ■ New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. 3ir,—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 ray 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, ;tnd bathed twice each day, and drank at least 1% 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 wallr 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 thanis 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. Joll; ttobert Graham, fisq. Auckland, 18th 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 np my mind to try your Springs,' After one week-s battling, 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, Geobge Bevebidge. To Eofcert 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 1868. For years prior to that time I had been subject to attacks of Ehetima 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 pthers 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. .;r > lam, dear Sir, oura very truly,
