" These Waters are all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, which is constantly escaping from the Spiings in large quantities. The Lithia, a \a!uable constituent of these Waters, is present in tin appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in composition. These Mineral Wateis are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely rpsemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, 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~ pep ia. You may rest assured that ail 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 James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equa] 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 Hadfield, Wellington. 1 Having been at Te Aroha 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 ceived. Having had a very seveie fall, which occasioned 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 able to walk a moderafedistance." From Me J. Hollo way, Manager of tho 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 suff erad 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." * Feom Captain T, Fiiaser, M.L.C. Dttnkdin, " 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 Aroba Springs." Feom Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank ofN.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from u«ing the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in Apiii 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 suifenng much from rheumatism, which pi even ted 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 hn^ c 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 com plot ely cured and greatly improved in health." Me G-eoege Ricketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths On ray .arrival at Te Aroha I was feuffei ing 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 I feel myself almost completely cured." De W. R. Erson, of Oneiittnga, Avck land. " The analysis of the springs at Te Aroba, 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 affect inns, and last, but not least, that common ' illjwhich flesh is hur to ' — dyspepsia,"
