The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

[testimonial by Wm. Rae]

We call the attention of sufferers from Rheumatism and other kindred ailments, to a letter in another column, written by Mr. Wm. Rae, of the Stoney Creek Hotel, from the Auckland Hot Springs. We all know how much and how long Mr. Rae suffered, and we now know his cure. We may add that many have been cured by the same remedy, and have no doubt that as the efficacy of the Hot Springs become better known, they will be very extensively had recourse to.—Cleutha Leader, 23rd June, 1876.

Sir,—You will be doing me a great favour by publishing the following:—I am well known in the district, and the public know how much I have suffered through Rheumatism, and to what expense I have been put by the doctors. I left your district some time ago with the intention of going to the Palmer diggings, but when I arrived in Sydney my old complaint returned with page 29 full force, and I was obliged to remain in Sydney sixteen days, attended by the doctors, who did me no good; and, as the last resort, I came here. I had to be carried from the one boat to the other, and when I arrived here I could not bear anybody to touch me, I was in such pain. After a fortnight bathing in the hot springs, I am almost restored to health, and can walk, talk, and eat my meals with the other visitors. I have taken no medicine since I have been here, and attribute my cure to the waters alone. The short time in which I have been restored to health has struck everybody with surprise, and I should strongly advise anybody suffering from a like disorder to pay a visit to the Springs. I hope my old friend Mr. Telford, of Otanomomo, will see this, and take advantage of the "waters," as I can strongly recommend them.

I must not close this letter without thanking Mr. Robert Graham (proprietor of the Springs) and his employees for the kind attention they showed to me whilst at the Springs.

I am, &c.,

Wm. Rae.
