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 value medicinally.

TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states:—“ They are similar to th 9 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 which have been given rom time to time : From Bishop lladfield, Wellington. ‘Having been ntTe Aroha four weeks,and having obtained great relief feom the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of thers which you have already received. Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in caparitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain,andam ableto walk a moderate distance.” From Mr 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 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 well as my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha.”

From Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunedin, “ I shall he pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Arolia 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 beefllacious 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 Balfour, Manager of the Bane ofN.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 Aprii 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 arrived at Te Aroha T wad suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during the day a difficulty ; l-ut from using No. 2 bath for a little over three weeks the pains have entirely, left my head, and do not’ give'-any uneasiness in,my feet ;in fact, r l may ,safjdy and truly say that at present I am completely cured and greatly improved in health.” y ■ . Mr George Bickexts, of Auckland,.writes: “ I cannot speak too highly of these baths On my arrival at Te-Aroha.l was suffering agony from rheumatism in the feet, so much so that T eould scarcely put them to the ground. In the short space of three days I feel myself, almost completely cured.”- - :, ; y Dr .W, :B. Ebs.^ (! of *Onf.hunga, Auck lanb.
