" These Waters aio all feebly alkaline and ptrongly charged with caibonie acid gas, which is cont-tanrly esc iping 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 ralue medicinally. They closely resemble some of rheEuiopean Mineral Spiings so justly celebrated, moie esper-inUy those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingen. Their dilative Value amII be greatest in Kheumat'cand Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Aftection&of the Kidnej?, and Dyspep ia. you ma> ret-t assured thntall joucan do for your Springs in the &liape of impioviim the facilities for Ihni Uhf, is euiiiely justified by thechaiactci of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE UATHrf, Ac. Sir James Hector states: — " They ar9 similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Bi'in, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in strength."' The following brief e^tiacts aie selected from among somehundieds of testimonials of a siinilai character which hfno Leen given rom time to tune : Fkoji Bishop Haxcfield, Wellington, 'Having been atTe AioLa foui weeks, and liav-> ing obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I thmk it well to add my testimony to that of theis which you b.ne iheady ie ceiled. Having had a veiy sevcie iall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable mcom enience, and which in capa' itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain.andam ableto walk a modei ale distance." From: Me J Hollow ay, Manager of ihe 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 scaicely less painfull nature. After about a month's lcsideme af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with consideiable 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 may J be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha." Feom Captain T, Frasee, M.L.O. Dtjnbdin, " I shall be pleased if yon 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 arc proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be effiacious in renal complaints, Wherever I go I shall, in the inteiests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroba Springs." From Mr Balfouu, Manager of tiie Bank op N.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have expeiienced from using the Te Aroha hot bathe. 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 aiter trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha 1 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 three weeks the pains haie 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." Mn George Ricketts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannot speak too highly of these baths On my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffciing 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." Dv W. R, Ebson, of Onehxjkqa, Auck land. " The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate a,r esidence here, and a course of judicious treatment, as the ' El Dprado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, ai large number kidney affections, nnd last, but not least, that common ' illjv bic-'i flesh is heir to ' — dyapepaia-,' 1
