" Those "Waters arc all iccbly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, which is 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 he very similar in composin tion. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and vill prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs *o iustly celebrated, more espccinlly those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingen. Their Curative Value vill be greatest in Eheurnatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dys" pep ia. You may rest assured that all you can do for your Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is entirely justified I by the cliaiaeter of the water,"

! IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE i VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states :— " They are similar to the "waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; 1 Bilin, Bohemia ; Brns, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal i to ; them in strength." j The following brief extract? are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop Hadfirld, Wellington. j ' Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and hay-> ing obtained great relief feorn the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony ! to that of thers which you have aheady re reived. Having had a very seveie fall, -which oecisioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capacitated me for any exertion for nine I weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to Malic a moderate distance." From Mr J Hollow at, Manager of the Bank ol'New Zejjjancl, 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 sufferec^from a seveie attack of sciatica and lumbag^ 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 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 Aroha." From Captain T, Feaser, M.L.C. Dunbdin, " 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 extraordinaiy curative properties for the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumati&m in all its forms, 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 go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mr Baufour, Manager of the Bank 01? KZ., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great reb'ef 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 ehake off, and after trying vainly many romedies, was ordered to the hot springs. "When I arrived at Te Aroha T was suJieriiig much fiom rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the d&y 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 feot ; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present T am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Mr G-eokoe Ricketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannofc speak too highly of these batha. On ray arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering agony from rheumatism in the feet, so much so 1 hat I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the phorfc space of three days I.feel myself almost completely cured." Dr W, R, Erson, of ONEHtraGA, AucKg land. " 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 unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' ill .which flesh is heir to '—dyspepsia."-
