Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which incapacitated me for any exertion for nino weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain; and am able to walk a moderaledisranee.” 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 months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbpgo, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. Aiier 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 which I.have suffered- so long has almost left me. It will be-my pleasure as well as my duty to recommend all m3' friends who maybe 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 effiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the To 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 Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, ana in April last had a very severe attack, wliic 1 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 suifering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made walking’Muring the day a-difficulty ; but from using No. 2 bath for a l-ittle 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 cample ,ely cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W, R. Ehson of .Oneixunga, 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 rhematism, gout, a large number kidney qffegtions, aid. last,' but not least, that common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia, .7
