" These Waters are all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, "which is constantly escaping from the Springs in large quantities. The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in composi* tion. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, more especially those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingen. Their Curative Value will he greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspepsia. You may rest assured that all you can do for your Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir Jarr.es Hector states: — " They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite eq.ua] j to them in strength." The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similai character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. 'Ilaving been atTeAroha four weeks, and having obt-ined great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you have already re reived. Having had a very severe fall, which of-c igioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capaiitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance." From Me J. HoiiLOWAY, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation of the waters of your justly famous baths For many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After about a month's residence af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain from which I have sufferad so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T, Frasee, M.L.C. Dtjnedix, " I shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence nt Te Aroha, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these springs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following complain ts : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be effiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." Feom Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank opN.Z., Napier. " I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot bathe. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinute to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. "When I arrived at Te Aroha T was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entirely left my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feet ; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Me GrEonoE Bicketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot' speak too highly of these baths. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering ngony from rheumatism in the feet,, so much so t hat. I could scarcely put them to the ground. Tn tlic short space of three days I feel myself almost completely cured." Dk W, Pw Eksun, of Ohinehunga, Adoe- j land. " The analysis of the springs at Te i Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar esidence ; Jieie, and a eour&e of judicious treatment, as the ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunjite suffeiers in most forma of rhematism, gout, n lar^e number kidney affections, and 3.i<-t, liui not least, that common ' ill which 50csli is hi-ir to ' — dyapepsia."
