" These Waters are all feebly alkaline and I strongly chaiged with carbonic acid gas, which is constantly escnpin» from the Springs in large quantities. The Ldthia, a valuable j constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to he very similar in composition. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of I the European Mineral Springs so justly relebiafed, more especially those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingen. Their Curative Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthiitic Diseases, Calculus. Affections of the Kidneys, and Dys~ I pep ia. You mayre*t asstued thntall Toucan | do for your Springs in the shape of iinpioving 1 the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water." DIPOBTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states : — " They are similar to the waters of Vichy I and Chandesaignes, in France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal! to them in strenerth." ! The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of I a similar character which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop Haixfield, Wellington. 'Having been atTeAroha four weeks, and hay--ing obtained great rohef feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony i to that of* thers which you hare already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occ isioned 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.andam ableto walk a moderate distance." From Mr J" Holixjway, 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 suffered so long ha<? almosfc left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my 1 duty to recommend all my friends who may | be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T, Fraseb, M.L.C. Dtjnedin, " 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 extraordinary 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 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 Halfotjr, Manager ov the Bank op N.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 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 thiee 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 Geoege Kickbtts, 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 bo that I could scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days Ijfeel myself almost completely cured." Dr W, E, Euson, of Onehunoa, Auckland. " 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 mosfc forms of rhemafcism, gout, a large number kidney affections, and , last, but not least, that common ' ill^vhich flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia."
