The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show those Springs to be very similar in compose tion. Thc=e 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 be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Disease?, Calculus, Affections of the Kidney?, and Dys~ pepsia. You mny 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 Jam es Hector states :— " They are similar to the waters of Vichy a.nd Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equals to them in strength." The following brief extracts are selected from among somehundieds of testimonial of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop HADriETyp, Wellington. ' Having been at Te Arohn four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath Ko. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you hare aheady re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occsioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in copa> itated me for any e.xert'on for nine weeks, I am now almost entiiely free from pain,andam ableto walk a moderale distance." From Mr J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel 1 ought to placo on rpcord 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 les3 painfull nature. After about a month's resident c af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain from which I hive suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who mny be in search of health to try the Avaters of Te Aroba." Frok Captain T, Fraske, M.L.C. Dttnedix, " I shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion o£ Ihe Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aroha, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced thafc these springs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gouf, 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." Fuoir Mr. Balfour, Maxager ot the Bank ov N.Z., Napier. " I wish to testify to the vory grear relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, an 1 in April last had a very severe aitaok, 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 from using Mo. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entiiely left my bead, 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." Mr George Ricketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffeiing agony from rheumatism in the feet, so much fo that I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days I feel myself almost completely cured." Db W, B, Ersox, of OxEirtns'GA, AtjckI,AN]>. " The ana'y?is of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of ; their constituents at once indicate ar esidence here, and a course o£ judicious treatment, as I the ' Et Dorado ' for the majority o£ unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, a lai-fie number kidney affections, and JaFt, bat not least, that common 'ill which flpHh is heir to' — dyspepsia,"'
