Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters of Vicliy and Chandesaignes, in France Bilin, Bohemia; Bros, Nassau ;■ and. are besides quite equal tq them in stren th.” , The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials cf a similar character which have been given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfikld, Wellington, ‘Having been at Te Arohu four weeks, and having obtained great relief from the use of bath No. 8, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you have already received. Having had a very severe fall, which oee isior.ed me much pain in my back aml considerable inconvenience, and which iucapa itated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free bom, pain, and am ableto walk a moderate distance.’’Fkom Mr J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank ol'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 1 a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less pain-, full nature. After about a month’s residem-e. 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 maybe in search of health to try the waters of Te Arolta.” 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 whatj I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these springs contain extraordinary euyative 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 effiacious in Tenal 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 ofN.Z,, Napier. “ I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the To Aroha hot ballis. I have bee a subject for many years to rheumatism, anri in Ap>ii. last had a vevy severe attack, whic ; proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha T was sintering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking during ithe day a difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath, for a little over three weeks the pains have entirely loft my head, and do not give any uneasiness in my feet pin fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am comple,ely cured and greatly-improved in health.” Du W. K. Erson qf Oxehunga, A uck land. “ The analysjs 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 rhemati&m, gout, a large number kidney affections, a idlast, but not least, that common ill which jflesjii is heir to —dyspepsia.
