" These Waters are all feebly alkaline and ■»tron£rlv charged with oarbonie acid eas, ■which is constantly escnping from the Springs in large quantities The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Watorq, is pre°ent in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis fchow these Swings to be vpry similar in composi* tion. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, anil will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, more especially those of Vichy i Ems, andFachinpen. Their Curative Value will be gi'Gfttest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affeotioasof the Kidneys, and Dyspep ia. Ton n.pvrot asanisd thotall you ran do' for your Spring in !bc shape of irppiovhur the (aci!Hies for thoiv use, is euticely jusliiiocl by the character of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states :— " They ] are similar to ijii© waters of Vichy a,nd Chnndesaignes, in Franco ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; ( B rid are besides quite equal, to them in strength." The following brie f axtrr.cti are selected from amont? aomchuruheJa of (ostiinonialß of a similar fharact&r which have been given rora time to time : From Bianop Hadfielp, Wellington. 'Having been afcTe Aroha four v/eeks, and having obttuned great r< lief feom the use of bath No. 9, X think it well to add my testimony to that of thera which you have already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which oeo- sioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capa> itatod me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance." From Mb J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, kelson : " 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 scaroely less painfull nature. After about a month's residence af Te Aroha, I am thankful to suy I can move about with considerable caw, while the pi n from which I have suffered so long has alraoßt left me. It will be my pleasure as well &» my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T,Fbaseb, M.L.C. Dunedin, " I shall be pleaced 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 eprlngs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following corhplftintg : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traceß of lithia, they must beeffiacious in renal complaints. Whcrerer I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mn BxiiFonß, Manageb of the Bank ofN.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using 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 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 rhoumatism, which prevented niy sleeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the paine have entirely left my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feet ; in fact, I may safely and truly pay that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Mn G-eouoe Bickbtts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffei ing agony from rheumatism in the feet, so tnurh so that I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days I feel myself almost completely cured." Dtt W, R, Erson, of Onkhunoa, Adck land. " The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value- of their constituents ,at once indicate ar esidence heie, 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 a£feoti>ris, and la-rt, but. not least, that common ' ill vfrhich flesh is heir to ' — dyspejjsia." \
