Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in eapa. itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain,andam able to walk a moderate distance.” From Mb J. Hollow 7 ay, 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 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 my pleasure as w 7 ell as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha.” From Cattain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunedin, “ I shall be pleased if you will give me an J 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 beefliacjous 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 Ralfotjk, Manager of the Bane 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 W many years to rheumatism, and jn Ap i last had a very severe attack, 'which proved obstinate to shake off, ar.d after trying vain'y many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrivpd at Te Aroha I was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during die day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entirely left my head, and ido not give any uneasiness in my feet; in fact, J may safelv and truly say that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health.” Mr George Ricketts, of Auckland, writes: ‘I cannot speak too highly of these baths. Jn my arrival at Te Aroha I was suffering gony from rheumatism in the feet, so much ;o that I could scarcely put them to the ground fn the short space of three days I feel mysel ilmost completely cured.” Dr W, It.’ Eitsc n, of O.vehunpa, Acck ' .and. ‘f The anal} sis of the springs at li Irolia, and the highly medicinal value o heir constituents at once indicate ar esidenc nere, and a course of judicious treatment, a. 1 die ‘ EL Dorado ’ for the majority of uiifortun ite suffereps jn \ most forms of rhematism gout, a large number kidney affections, am last, but not least, that common ■ ijljwliicl.
