Hie Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in comppsiI tipn. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly j interesting, and will prove of great vajue medicinally. They closely resemble some of 1 the European Mineral Springs no justly celebra'ed, more especially those of Vichy, Euis, andFaehingen. Their Curativ, Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of tire Kidneys, and Dyspep ia. You may rest assured thpt all you ran do for vour 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 PATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states:—“ They p.ro similar to the waters, of Vichy and Chendesaignes, in Prance ; BUin, Bohemia ; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in stren.rth.” The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given rom time so time ; From Bishop Hadfield, "Wellington. ‘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-isioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which in capacitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I ant now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderafodistanee.” 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 monthß 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 whielr Lliave 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 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 be efliaeious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te

•Aroha Springs.” . i From Mk Balfour, Manager of the Bank of N-Z., . Napier. ■ kl. wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the .To Aroha hot baths. I have beqa subject' ibr many years to rheumatism* and in April last had ft rery severe ;.e£taaV, yrlpOJnpedl&fr obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was 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 during the day a difficulty; but from,.usirg No. 2 bath : for a little over three weeka. the .pains have, entirely left my head, and do,-not give any, uneasiness in my feet; in fait, I may safely and truly say that at present & complexly cured atod greatly improved ip, health.” . - MBQ-EoBGEKiCKETT!ii,,Qf Auckland, writes. :■ “ I cannot speak toG/nighly of these bachs. On my arrival at pee Aroha I was suffering, agony from rheum(atisiQ|in the feet, so much,! so that I could scarcely put them to the groupd.. In the short spade of three,days I feel myself almost completely, cured;” 1 i t D’b W, B.Deson : of Onehunga, Auck land, “The analysis qf the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly, medicinal value of i their constituents at once indicate ar esidc ice here, and a course of judicious treatment as, the * El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortun-. ate sutierers in most forms of'rhemaiism, gout, a large; number-kidney affections, ari last, hut not/ least, that common ill whiih flesh j& heir to —dyspepsia.
