" The^e Waters are all feebly alkaline and Wrongly charged with carbonic acid gas, which is constant]}' escaping from the Springs in large quantities. The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is prej-onfc in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs (o be vciy smu'ar in composit on. These Mineral Y\ 7 uteis are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of gieat value medicinally. They closely it semble some oi the European IMineial Spimgs so justly eclebiafed, moie et>pc(i.illj those of Vichy, Ems, andFnchingen. Their Cm alive Value will be greatest in Ithcumatic and Arthiilie Diseases-, Calculus, Affections of the Kidnejs, and Dys* pep ia. Yon ma.i rest assnied that all jour-an do for your Springs in the shape of imploring ■he facilities for their use, is entnely justified by the cbai actor of the water," IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, dc. Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters ofVichy and Chandesaignes, in Franco ; Bi'in, Bohemia ; Fins, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in strength-" The following brief extracts are selected from among somehuncheds of testimonials of a similar character -^hich ha\e been ghen rom time to time : From Bishop Hadfielo, Wellington. 'Having been atTeAioha four weeks, and having obtained great relief feom the use of balh j No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of theis which you have already re ceived. Having had a veiy severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in ! capa itated me for any exertion for nine \\eeLs, I am now almost entirely free from pain,andam able to walk amoderaledistance." Fnoai Mr J. llolloway, Manager of fhe Bank of New Zealand, Nelson : " I feel I ought to place on record my high appreciation of ihe waters of your justly famous baths For many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latteily in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After about a month's resident c af Te Aroha, I am thankful to s.ij r I can move about, with considerable ease, while the pi n fiom which J h ive suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be m sonrch of health to tiy the waters of Te Aroha." Prom Captain T, Fbasek, M.L.O. Dtjnjcdin, " I shall be pleased if you will give me an oj)portunity 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 effiaeious in renal complaints. Wherever I gp I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." Fijoji Sin RALFopif, Manager op tiießank: op K.Z., Napier. "I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject formally years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinute to shake off, acd 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 httle 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 G-eobge Rioketts, of Auckland, writes : "I cannot speak too highly of these baths. On my arrival at Te Aroha I was sulfering agony from rheumatism in the feet, so much so thai I could scarcely put them to the ground. 1 n the fchprt space of threo days I feel myself almost completely cured." Dn W, R, Ebson, of Oxeitxtnoa, Auck i.ani). t^" The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha," and. the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar csidence here, and a course of judicious treatment, as the ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhemalism, gout, a large number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' illjwhich flesh is heir to '—dyspepsia,"
