" The«e Waters are all feebly alkaline and B tronply charged with carbonic acid gas, which i« constantly escaping 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 oompnsi-* tion. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineial Springs so justly eelebiafecl, more especially those of Vichy, 35ms, andFnchingen. Their Onvativp Value will he greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidney?, and Dys~ pep ia. You mny re<»t asstned (hat all you can do for vonr Springs in ihe shape of iinpiovingr the facilities for thoir use, is entiicly justified by the character of the water." IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir jRT-nes Hector states:—" They are similar to the -wators of Vichy a.nd Chnndesaignes, in France ; Biiin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal 4 to them in streneth." The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bisnop Hadiht.ld, Wellington. 'Having bei?n ntTeArohn four weeks, and having obtained great relief fcom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you have already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occnßioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capacitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance." Fbom Mb J- HbiiLOWAY, 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 bath* For many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of &ciatiea 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 Ih»ive suffered so 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 I Aroha." ! From Captain T, Fkaser, M.L.C. Dunkdin, "I shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion i of the Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence | at Te Aroha, frora what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these springs contain extraordinary curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in ail its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must beeffiaciouß in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mr Balfoub, Manageu of thb Baits ojpJT.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, wae ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Avoha T was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during j 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-eouge E-icketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths On my arrival at Te Aroha I wns suffering agony from rheumatism in the feet., so much so 1 hat I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of tbice days I feel myself I almost completely cured." Dr W, X, Ebson, of Onehunoa, Auck iii.ND. " riie? analysis of the springs at To 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 flea}) is heir to ' — dysi-»epsia."
