When I arrived at Te Aroha I 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 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 complexly cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W, R. Erson of Onehunoa, Auck land, “ 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 rhemati&m, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but not least, that common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
