Dear Sir,—I feel much pleasure in testifying to the great benefit I derived during my stay at the Waiwera (Hot Springs). On the recommendation of my medical adviser, Dr. Mark, of Christchurch, I visited your sanitarium. I arrived there almost page 25 as helpless as a child, suffering from Paralysis, through a severe crush received in a grain store. After five weeks' bathing I got so far restored, that, with the use of two sticks, I can manage to walk about, and I have no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without them altogether. The trip has been a most enjoyable one; the hotel, table, and attendance being all anyone could wish for. I take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to Miss Graham for the great kindness I received while at the Springs.
