IMPORTANT TBSTTMOIsY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE LATHS, &c. Sir Japies Hector states:—" They a.re similar to the waters oF "Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Biliu, Bohemia ; Etns, Nassau ; and esce besides quite equals to them in strength."

'Having been atTeAroha four weeks, and boving obt.iined f^reat relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers winch you have aheady re ceived. Having bad a veiy sevcie fall, which occasioned mo much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capai itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entiiely free from pain, and am able to vralk a modoi ate distance." From Mk J Hollow at, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson: " 1 feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation of the viateis of your justly famous baths Foy 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 ?.f Te Ai-oha, I ara thaiikfulto say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pi n from which I have suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to lecommend all my friends who mny be in semch of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." Fkom Captain T, Fiusdr, M.L.C. Bvnjjdin, " 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 convinced that these springs contain extraoidinary curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be elOacious m renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special vntues of the Te Aroha Springs." Fitosr Mr. Balfotjr, Manager oi? the Bank ofN.Z., Napiek. u I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the To Aroha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very seveie 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 1 was suffering much from rheumatism, which pi evented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over throe %veeks the pains have entiiely left my head, Jind 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 m health." Mii Geokoeßjcketts, 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 coulcl scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days I feel myself almOftt completely cured." Dv W, R, Ekson, of ONsnuNcjA, Aucje liAND. " The analysis of the springs at Te 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 uufottunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, goufc, a large number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' ill which flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia."
