" The^e Waters are all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid . gas, which is constantly escaping from the Springs in large quantities. Tho Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in composition. The^e JMipernl Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of Ihe European Mineral Springs so justly' celcbiated, more e*perijilly those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingcn, Their Curative Value will T>e greatest in Hhmunatic and Artluitie Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dys^ pep ia.

VALUE OF THE BATHS, &c.

Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bi'in, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to tUem 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 : Fuom Bisnop Hadfiei,t>, Wellington. ' 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 there which you ha\ c already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occisionerl me much pain in my back ancl considerable inconvenience, and which in capa jtated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am ableto nnlk amoderafedistance," From Mb J. llolloway, 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 hnve 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 noy pleasm*e as well as my duty to recopamend all ray friends who may be in search of health ,to try the waters of Te Aroha." From Captain T, FnASER >s M;L.Ci Dtt'skdes f " I shall be pleated if yor. will . give "nic 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 a,m 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 corrfplaints. Wherever I go I shall/in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te ; Aroha Springs." " . j From Mr, Baufour, Manager op the Bank ov N.JZ., Napjkr. " I wish to- testify to the very great relief I have experienced from n«ing j the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject ! for many years to' rheumatism, and in Apri. last' had a very severe attack, which proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainiy many remedies, wa| orclgred tcthe-hot springs. When I arrived* at Te Aroha T was suffering mudh from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day" a difficulty j but from using No. 2 bath for *}, 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 completely cured and greatly improved in health." • Mn OeobgkKicketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too hjghly of these baths Dn my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering agony from rheumatism in the feet, po much so that I.coujd scarcely put 'them to the ground. In thp short-apace of three days I feel myself i almost completely cured." -D$ W.
