The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

[subsection]

The following testimonials speak for themselves. These are but a few out of many now in the hands of the proprietor, and are selected, not on account of their extra flattering nature, for all contain the same tale in other words, but because they are from visitors-whose homes are in England, America, Australia, and the various Provinces of New Zealand; although thousands of people have visited the Waiwera, and bathed in the Hot Springs, many suffering from most complicated complaints, there is not a single instance known of any person taking cold from the effect of bathing, or of any ill effects accruing; while, on the other hand, hundreds, aye, thousands have derived benefit from their visits.

A most remarkable cure was effected in 1872 that is well worthy of notice. A Mr. Gardinhire, who was in the war in the Southern States of America, after being six weeks constantly in the saddle, contracted a disease, which baffled the skill of all medical men he consulted; he travelled in search of health for years through Europe and America, visiting all the famous springs, but with no beneficial results. After three months' stay at Waiwera, he became thoroughly convalescent, and has had no return of his complaint, and enjoyed good health ever since.
