" These Waters are all feebly 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 be very similar in composition. 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, andFachingen. Their Curative Value will be greatest in Kbeumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dys>pep ia. You may re*t assured that all you can do for your Spiings in the shape of impiot ing the facilities for tlioir use, is entirely justified bv the chaiacter of the water,"

IMPOKTAKT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c. Sir James Hector states'-—" They are similar to the -waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, ir>. France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; pnd 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 : From Bishop Hvdfifld, Wellington. ' Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and having obtained gieat relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you huve already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capat itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost enliiely free from pain,andam able to walk a moderate distance." From Mb J. Hollo way, Manager of tho Bauk of New Zealund, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation of the waters of your ju&tly famous bathg 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 pin from which I have suffered bo 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, Frasee, M.L.C. Dtjnmdin, " 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 Aroba, 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, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." From: Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank of N.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from up ing 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, Avhich prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day 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 feet ; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Me G-eobge Ricketxs, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these bathsOn my arrival at Te Aroba I was suffering ugony from rheumatism in the feet, so much bo that I could scarcely put them to the ground. Tn the short space of three days I feel myself almost completely cured." Dk W. R. Erson, op Oneiiunga, 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 themaioiity of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, govit, a large number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' illjwbicli flebli is heir to ' — dyspepsia."
