" The=e Wateis aie all feebly alkaline and btrongly charged with carbonic acid gas, ■which isconstnntly escnping from theSprmns in large quantities. The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Watris is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Snnngs to be very similar in composition. These Mineral Wateis are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely lvsemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly relebrafed. more especially those of Vichy, Kms, andFachirifren. Their Curative Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases. Calculus. Affections of the Kidney, and Dyspepsia. You may rest a ssured that all you ran do for your Springs in the shape of impiovinsi the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, dc. Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters ofVichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equaJ.. to them in strength." The following brief extracts are selected from amonir pome hundreds of testimonials of a similar oharacter which have been given rom time to time : From Uisiiop Hvdpield, Wellington, __' Haviug been at Te Aroha four weeks, and hay-« ing obtnined great relief feom the use of bath Ko 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you lime already re oehed. Having had a very severe fall, which occ isioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in cap». itated me for any exertion for nine "weeks, I din now almost entirely free from pain, and am ableto walk a moderate distance." From Mr J Hollo way, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my high appieciation of Ihe 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 les« painfull nature. After about a month's resident c ftf Te Aroha, I am thankful to shy I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain from which I have suffered so long has almost l^ft me. It will be my pleasure as well as ivy duty to recommend all my friends who rony "be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." Fhom Captain T, Frasek, M.L.C. Dtjnkdin, " I shall he pleaded if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aroha, from what I have seen arid heard, I am convinced that the^e springs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy trac-es of iithia, they ■must beeffiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go 1 shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From M» Balfoub, Manager of the Bank qrN Z., Napier. '• I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced fiom using ' the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject, for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe aitaek, which proved obstinate 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 fiom using No. 2 bath ior a little over three weeks the pains have entitely left my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feer. ; iv fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am completely cuied and yrently improved in health." Mk Gtborge Kicketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering agony from rheumatism in the feet, so much ■so t hat, I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days I feel myself almost completely cured." Dv W, R. Erson, op Onehfnoa., Atjckxand. " The analysis of the springs afc Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate a,r esidence Tiere, and a course of judicious treatment, as the • El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, a larsje number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' ill which 21ei>ii iti ieir to ' — ctyapepsia." .
