Six’ James Hector states:—“ They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, ir» France ; Bi;ih, Bohemia; Fibs, Nassau; and are besides quite equal tothem in stren-.-th-” The following brief extracts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonial# of a similar character which have been given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfield„ Wellington. 1 Having been atTe-Aioha four weeks, and hav-» ing obtnined great relief from the use of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you have already received. Having had a very severe fall, which occ-tsioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which incapacitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain 4 andam able to walk amoderafedistance.” From 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 a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After about a month’s residence af Te Arnlia, I am thankful to sny I can move about with considerable ease, while the pin from which I hn ve suffersd 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 Arolia.” 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 residenceat Te Arolia, from what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that these springs contain extraordinary curative properties forthe following complaints : Suppressed gout,, rheumatism in.allits forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disordei'3; and as the springs areproved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must beeffiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity make known the- special virtues of the Te Arolia Springs.” From Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank of N.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, and in April last had a very severe attack, whic i 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 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 comple.ely cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W, B, Ebson of Onehunga, Auck land. “ The . analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of then-constituents at once indicate a residence here, and a course of judicious treatment as the 1 El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortun-. ate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but not least, that common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
