Tho Lithia, a valuable constituent of these WateTs, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Annlysis show these Springs to be very similar in eompof>i-< tion. The<=e 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 esper-iiilly those of Viohy, Ems, andFachingen. Their Cnrativ<> Value will be greatest in Kheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidney*, and Dys~ pep ia. You mavre«t assured flint 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," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states :—" They are similar to the -waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, 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 been given rom time to time : Fbok Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. 4 Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 8, I think it well to add my testimony to that of there which you hate already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occisioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in cap»< it«ted me for any exertion for nine weekn, I am now almost enthely free from pain.andam able to walk amoderafedistßnce." Fnoic Mb J. Holloway, 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 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." Prom Captain T, Praseb, M.L.C. Dunkdin, " I ehali 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 it» formß, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorder* ; and as the springs are ! proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they j must beeffiaciouß in renal complaints. Wher*. ever I go I shall, in the interests ot humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te ! Aroha Springs." j From Mr Balfoor, Maxaobr or thb Bakk j opN.Z., Napieb. " 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 last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinate to i»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 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 greatly improved in health." Mr G-eorge Ricketts, 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." Dr W, R. Eesox, of Onehunga, Adck I.AND. " The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar esidonce here, and a course of judicious treatmei t, as the ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhem,iii.im, gout, a large number kidi-ey aff Jctiom, and list, but not least, that common * ill \ hich flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia.'.
