Auckland, 18th May 1875,
Sir, I desire to give publicity to the wonderful cure I had while at your Waiwera Sanitarium. 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 up my mind to try your hot springs. After one week’s bathing, 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 recovery, which I look upon almost like a miracle.
I am, sir, yours respectfully,
George Beveridge
