When I arrived at Te Aroha 1 was sufferingmuch 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 have entirely left my head, and do not give any : unaasiness in my feet; in fact, I may safely ; and truly say that at present I am comple-ely-cured and greatly improved in health.” De W, R, Ekson of Qnehunga, Auck land. u The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate.- a residence here,. and a course of judicious treatment as. the ‘ El Dorado "for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in- most forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but not least, that common, illwhkib. flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
