' 11 These Waters aie all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with caibonic 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 nsemble some of the European Mincial Springs so justly celebiated, more especially those of A'iohy, Ems, andFachmgen. Their Curative Value -will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Djspep ia.

Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to *he waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and 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 Bisnop ITADrini.n, "Wellington. 'Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of barh No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thcis which you have already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capai itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost enthely free from pain, and am ableto walk amoderatedistance." From Me J. Hollo way, Manager of the Bank of New Zealund, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my bigh 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 v s resident af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say 1 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 recommend all my friends who rnny be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." Fkom Captain T, Fraskb, M.L.C. Dtjnedin, " I shall be pleaded 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 Balpotjr, Manager of the Bank of N.Z., Napier. v 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 lasfc 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 tho pains have entirely left my head, nnd 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." ! * Mb G-eoege Ricketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too liighly of these baths. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering a-a;ony 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." ' Dlt W, E, EIISON, OF ONEntTNGA, AUCK land. " The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar esiclonce here, and a course of judicious treatment, as the ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferer* in most forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affection, and last, but not least, that common 'illjwhich tiesli is heir to ' — dj siicpsia-."
