From Bishop Hadfield, W T ellington. 1 Having been at Te 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 occ .sioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which"in capacitated me for any exertion' for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk amoderatedistance.” 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 na’ure. After about a month's residence .a£ Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about wij-h 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 ail 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 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 beeffiacioiis 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 Bank of N.Z., Napier., ‘‘l 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 April last had a very severe attack, which proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vain.y many remedies, was ordered to the hot. springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha 1 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 hav e .entirely left my head, and do noc give ' any uneasiness in my feet; in fact, I may safelv and truly say that at present I am completely/ cured,and greatly improved in health.” • Mr (3-eorge Ricketts, of Auckland, writes: “ I cannot %>eak‘ too highly ;of these baths On my 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.” „i , S'; Q: ;j .7 ; Dr W, R.
