" The«e Waters are all feebly alkaline and ptrongly 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 bo very similar in composiI tion. These 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 especially those of Vichy, Ems, andFaehingen. Their Curative Value will foe greatest in Bheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspep ia. You may rest assured thnfcall you can do for your Springs in the shape of impioving the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir Jam es Hector states :— -" They are similar to the waters ofVichy and Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal J to them in strength." The following biief extracts are selected from among somehundieds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given mm time to time : From Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. 'Having been atTeAroha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you have already re cehed. Having had a very severe fall, which oec-isioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capaiitated me for any exertion for nine week?, In m now almost enthely free from pain,andam ableto walk a moderate distance." From 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 suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to lecommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T, Frasek. M.L.C. Dxtnedix, " 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 To 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 beeffiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, m the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From Mn Bat,four, Manager op the Bank of N.Z., Napier. " I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot bath 9. 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 difficult? ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entiiely 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 eomplelely cured and greatly improved in health." Mr George 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 Ijfeel myself almost completely cured." Dk \V, R, Ehson, of Oveitongia, Auoz land. " fhe 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 ' illjwhich flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia."
