Since my residence 1 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 humanity make known the special virtues of the Te Aroba 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 beea subject for many years to rheumatism, and in April last had a very severe attack, whio i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. 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 ma, y safely and truly say that at present I am comple ,ely cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W. R. Ehson of Onehunga, 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 aa the ‘ El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rljematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid’ last, but not least, that common 'ill whieh flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
