" These "Waters are all feebly alkaline anl •tion^ly 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 an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in compost tion. Thes-e Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely r« semble some of the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, more especially those of Vichy, Ems, anclFnchingen. Their Cm - ative Value will be greatest in Kheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Aff&tionsof the Kidneys, and Dys~ pep ia. You ina.vrest assured that all joucan do for your Springs in the shape of imploring •he facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the wati>r." 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 hrief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rum time to tune : From Bisnop Hadfield, Wellington. 'Having been atTeAroha four weeks.and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I thinlt it well to add my testimony to that of thers which yon h&\ c already rt» rei\ed. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capa itated me for any exertion ior Jiine weeks, I nm now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk amoderatedistance." From Mb J. Holloway, Manager of ih» Bank of New Zealand, TSelson : " 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 compl, cations of scarcely less paiufull nature. After about a month's residen c af Te Aroha, I am thankful to s>»y I can move about v ith considerable ease, while the pi n from which I have suilerrfd so long has almost loft n.e. It will be my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in jenrch of health to try the waters of T -. Aroha." Fhom Captain T, Frasek, M.L.C. Dttnedin, " 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 goat, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders ; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy "traces' of lithia, they must be efßacious in renal complaints. Wherever I no 1 shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs." Fbom Mr Rauoub, Manager of thb Bank ofN.'Z., Napikk.^ "I wish to testify, to the very great relief I have experienced from u>ing the Te Aroha hot baths. I have beeif subject fi r many years- to rheumatism; anH in Ap i. "Ast had a very severe aitnek/ which proved obstinate to shake off, a? d after trying vaiiny many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I armed' at J T.e 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 three weeks the pains ha\e entirely left my head, andt'do not give any uneasiness in my feet ; in fact, I may safely f and truly say that at present lam completelY cured and greatly improved in health." ,Ma Oeoboe Rickktts, of Auckland, writes : " I cannof speak too highly of these bathp. On my arrival at Te Aroha If was suffering jvgony from rheumatism' in the- feet, so much so that I could scarcely put them to the ground. 1 In the short space of three days I feel myself almost coinp'etely cured." f♦ „ } . Pb "W. 11, Ebson, of Qxkhttxga, Atjck X.ANP. "The 5 analysis f of -the springs at T« Aroha," and' the highly medicinal value of their constituents at on re indicate ar esidence here, and a course of "judiciouqf treatment, as the ' :B1 Dorado ' for ihe majority of unfortun ? ate sufferers -in most ftriins xof rKemdjfismt gout, a laroe nu'inbur kidney' alfectionsp and last, but not least, .tfiat common ' iUJwJiich i flesh is h.ir to ' — dvnijepsia." ; * <
