The Litliia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis allow these Springs to be very similar in eomposm tion. These Mineral Waters arc exceedingly interesting, and vill prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Springs ao justly*celebrated, more especially those of ‘h'ehy, Kim;, andEachingen. Their Curatm Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspep in. You may rest assured that all you can do for youy Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is entirely justified by the character of the water,” IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac.

Sir James Hector states:—“ They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Ch&ndesaignes, in. France ; Bilin, Bohemia; Bros, 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 Hadfield, Wellington. ‘Having been atTeAroha 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 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,andam ableto walk amoderatedistanco.” From Mb J. Hom-oway, 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 nionth’s residence af Te Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pi a 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.”

Fbom Captain T, Frasee, M.L.C. Dunedin, “ I shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of tile Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aioha, 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 renalcoraplamts. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs.”

Fbom Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank ofN.Z., Napieb. “I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Ardjm hot baths. Ihave been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, wbic 1 proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, wag.ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha T was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking duririg the day a difficulty; but 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, I may safely and truly say that at present I am comple «ly cured and greatly improved in health.”’ Me Geobge Ricketts, of Auckland, writes: “ I cannot speak 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 Db W, R, Ebson ,of Onehunsa, Auck land.- “ The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and, the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate, ar esidc ice hero, k course of judicious treatment as the * El Dorado ’ for tse majority ol unfortunate sufferers in moat forms of rhem.atism, gout, a large humbei* kidney affections-, aid last, but not least, that cpmmo#. ill flesh is her? tp -^dyspepsia,.
