' "These Waters • are all, feebly alkaline and strongly charged with ' carbonic acid gas, which ia constantly escaping from the Springs in large • quantities. ,The Litliia, 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 be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus. Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspep ia.

'Having^been at TeArohn four weeks, and having obtained great 1 relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to, that of others which you have aheady re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned, me much pain in my baok and considerable inconvenience, and which in capa' Hated me for any exertion for nine -weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to wnlk amoderaiedistance." Fbom Mn J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on x-ecord 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 lesa 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 pi n from which I have sufferad bo 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, Fraseb, M.L.C. Dtjnkdin, " 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^convit^ced that,, these springs contain extraordinary curative' properties for the'followiug' complaints: Suppressed gout, rheumatism -in all hV forms', dyspepsia, ! and cutaneous disorders ;- and as the springs are proved to xfcntain; heavy f traces of lithia,!they must be effiacipus> in, renal complaints, Wherever^ I go, I shall', m the interests of hum anity, makejjmown* the. special -virtues .pf ( ilje Te Aroha Springs." " ' ' ' ' ' N Fbom Mk BAUotmr Manager of the Bank opNIZ., Najieb. ,";I wish to testify ( to the 'very great relief I have.ezperienced from using j the Te Aroha hot Jbatlis. I have . heen subject j for many years tb rheumatism, and in April last' 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 j much from rheumatism, which 'prevented my j sleeping at night, and made walking during j the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 hath 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 say that tit present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Ma GteoßOE Bicketxs, of Auckland,' writes : , " I cannot speak too highly of these hatha. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering agony from rheumatism in- the feet,' so much j so that I could scarcely put them to the ground. ! .In theshort space-of three I feel myself almost completely cured." * V / , !
