The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present "in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to he very Bimilar in composition. These "Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great • value medioinallv. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebratpd. more espceially those of Vichy, Ems, andFachinpten. Their Curative Value -will be greatest in Eheurnatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspep ia. Ton mnvrest assured that all you can do for your Springs in the' shape of improving thp fnciiitieq for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE | VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states:—" They ! are similar to the -waters of Vichy and Chondesaignes, in France ; Bilin. Bohemia ; Ems. Nassau ; pud are besides quite equal i to them in strength." The following brief extracts are selected from among some hunch eds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop Hadtield, Wellington. 'Having been »tTe Aroha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you ha\ c already re reived. Having had a very seveie fall, which oco-pioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capa itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance." Fkom Mb J. HoiiLOWA-s, Manager of the Bank of New Zealnnd, Nelson: "I feel I might 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. Afier about a month's residence af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable eaße, while the pi n from which I hive suffered so long has almost l«f fc me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to tiy the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T, Fbaser, M.L.C. Dtokdin, " I shall be pleased if you will give rae an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aroba, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced thafc these springs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forma, 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 gp I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known ' the gpeoiai virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mk Balfocb, Manages pv the Bank ofN.Z., Napieb. "I wish to testify to the vei-y great relief I have experienced fromußing the Te Aroha hot baths. > I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinate to bhake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha T was suffering mtich 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 entirely left my head, 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 grently improved in health." Mk George RiokettB, of Auckland, .writes : "I cannot speak too highly of these baths ; Oh my arrival at Te Aroha I waa suffering agony from rheumatism Jn the feet, so inucn \bo thafc I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the. ffhort/spfice^bf J;hree"*day£ I feel myself f almost completely qured.V, ( - - , .[• ■ Dll W, It, Eb'son, of ONEHONaA,-'Auck :,an'i>, " The analysis* '.of^tbe.* springs at Te Aroha, and the highly me'iicinal value of tWir constituents^ at oiice'indicate aresidence'.
