Sir,—Understanding you are the 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 efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Rheumatism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year '69, contracted through cold and wet, working 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 were always the worst part affected), and, with the exception of my feet being very tender from so much hot bathing, I am 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 disappointed if they find themselves worse the first day or two; according to the general opinion it shews 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 in each bath; and to parties affected with accute Rheumatism I think the more they use them the more speedy will be the cure.
