" These Waters are all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, which is constantly escaping from the Springs in large quantities. The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in un appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in composition. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great yalue medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, more especially those of Vichy, Ems, andFachingen. Their Curative Value -will be greatest in Kheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dys~ pep ia. You may re«t assured that all you can do for your Springs in the shape of impioving rhe 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 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 have been given rom time to time : Feom Bishop Hadfiei/d, Wellington. ' Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and hav-^ ing obt.iined great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you ha> c already re ceived. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capaiitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance." From Mb J. Holloway, 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 have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less pain*full nature. After about a month's residenr-e af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pi n i from which I have suffered so long has almost [ left me. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to lecommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha," Fboii Captain T, Fraseh, M.L.C. Dunedin, '• 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 beeffiacious 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 Bai/fotjii, Manager of the Bank of N.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 for many years to rheumatism, and in Api il 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 1 was suffering much from rheumatism, which provented 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 hate entirely left my head, and ido not give an? uneasiness in my feet ; in faot, I may safely and truly say that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health." Me G-eoege Rickettb, of Auckland, writes : ♦' I cannot speak too highly of these baths. On mj arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering 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." Dtt W, ft, EUSOK, OP ONEHTJNCIA, AUCK XAND, <( The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate ar esidence here, and a course of judicious treatment, as tho ' El Dorado ' for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, d large number kidney affections, and last, but not least, that common ' illjwhich flesh is heir to ' — dyspepsia,"
