" The«e Waters are all feebly alkaline and «tron£ly charged wirh carbonic acid gas, which is constantly escnping 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 composw tion. These Mineral Wavers are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great yalue 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 Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidney?, and Dyspep ia. 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," TMPOETANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c 1 Sir James Hector states :— " They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chßndesaignes, in France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in strength." The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have v been given roni time to time": ' -''- ' - l • Fhom^ Bishop Hadtteld, . Wellington. •Having been at-TeAvoha four wee^^nd'hav--ing obtained 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 ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which ore SToned me much pain in ray back and considerable inconvenience, and which r in capo'itated me for any exertion for "nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain,andam ableto walk a moderate distance." Feom Mb J. EToMiOWAY, 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 easp, while the pi n from which I have snfferad so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my dnty 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. Dunkmn, " I shall be pleased 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 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 beeffiacious in'renal complaints, Wher-? ever I po I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mr Balfoub, Manageii of the Bank op W.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot batha. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinwte to *hake 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 steeping 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, »nd do not'give any uneasiness in my feet ; in fnct, I may safely and truly say that at present I ara completely cuied and greatly improved in health.'' , Mr Q-eobge Bicketts, 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.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, Erson,' of' Oxehttnga, Auckland. '.' The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar esidence here, and a course- of judicious treatment, as the ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout,« a large number kidney affections, and last, but. not least, that common ' ill which flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia,"
