The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very Similar m composition. These Mineral Wtitcis are exceedingly iiiieresting, and will prose of great value medicinally.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OP TUE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states :— " They are similar to the "waters ofVichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; BiUn, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; snd are besides quite equal to them in strength-" The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time to time : Froji Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. 1 Having been at To AroLa four weeks, and having obtained gieat lehef feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you hare already re ceived. Having£*had a very severe fall, which occ *ioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capa itated me for any exertion fo? nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from paiii,?ndam ahleto walk amoderaledistance." From Mb J Holloway, Manager of the Bank oi'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 fiom a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After about a month's residenre af Te Aroha r I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pi n from which Ihuve 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 Aroha." From Captain T, Fraseb, M.L.C. ©ijnkdin, " 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 pmperties 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 beediacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the bpecial virtues of the Te Aroha Springs."'

Fuoai Mk Ealfour, Manager ot the Bank opN.Z., Napiek. "I wish to- testify to the very great relief I have expciienced from using the Te Ai'oha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in Ap-ii last had a very severe attack, which pioved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was oidered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha T was suifeiing much from lheuinatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 b.ith for a httle over three weeks the pains have entiiely left my head, nnd do nor give any uneasiness in my feet, ; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at 2)resent I am completely cuied and greatly improved in health." j Mk Gfoege RRickets,t ts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths On my arrival at Te Aroha I was sufteiintj agony fiom rheumatism in the feel, so much j so that I could scarcely put them to the ground. Tn the bhoifc space of thiee days I feel 1113 sell almost completely ctued." v Dit W, li, F.usojr, of O.vehcnsa, Auck land.
