" The.se 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 Water* , is present in an appreciable quantity. Tho Annlj'sis show these Springs fo be rery similar in composition. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of greafc 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 bs q eatest in Eheumatic nnd Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections ci the Kidneys, and Dyspepsia. You may rest assured that all jou can do for your Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the chai actor of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE

VALUE OF THE BATHS, <Src.

Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal , to them in strength." The following brief extracts ai'e selected from amoncr pome hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop Hadpleld, Wellington, ' Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of bafh No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you have already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occ-Bioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which inenpa<itatod me for ?ny exertion for nine .weeks, I am now almost entirely free from -p«in,andam able to walk a moderate distance." From Mb J Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation 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 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 Ihnve 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 Arolia." Fko>i Captain T, Fbaser, M.L.C. Duxedin, " I shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha S prings. Since my residence at Te Aroha, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these 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 traces of lithia, they must heeffiaeious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mb Bauour, Manager of the Bank op N.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 lasfe had a very severe attack, -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 No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entiiely left my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feet ; in fact, I may safely and truly sHy that at present I am completely cured aud greatly improved in health." Ma G bosgb Uicketts, of Auckland, writes : : '■' I cannot speak too highly of these baths j Oa my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering j rgony from rheumatism in the feet, so much so that I could s'la.xcely put them to the ground. In x'tiQ short space c£ three days I feel myself altnorfi completely cured." Da W. R. Ersok. ov Onehunoa, AuckTjJlm>, " -The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their cocstituuita at once indicate ar esidence here, and a course 1 of judicious treatment, as the * El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of ihematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, and Ja*=t;, Inn not least, that common ' ill which fleeh is heir to '-—dyspepsia."
