Sir James Hector states“ They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Che.ndesaignes, in. France ; Bilin, Bohemia ; Eros, Nassau ; and Are'T)esides quite equal to them in strength.” The following brief extiaets are selected from among some hundreds of t estimonials of a similar character which have been given from time to tune : , • .r .~; | F hom Bishop Halfield, Wellington. ‘Having been atTe Aroha four weeks,and hav-* ing obtained great relief from the use of bath No. 3, ,'l‘think it well to add my testimony to that of others which 1 you have already received. 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 nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from. pain,andam ableto walk a moderate distance.” From Mb J. Holloway, Manager of theBank 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 lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After 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 my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Arolta.” ■. * From Captain T, Fbaseb, M.L.C. Dunklin - , “ 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 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 beeffiacious in renal complainls. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs.’,’ . ‘From Mr Halfour, Manager of tike Bank opN.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, whic i proved obstinate to shake oh, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha. 1 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 coinple ,ely cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W, R. Erson of Oxehunoa, Acck land. , “ The analysis of the springs at Te Arolia, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate a residencehere; and a course of. judicious treatment as the’ ‘ El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortunate sufferers' in most forms I of :rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid •las!/, ;butsD9t least, that. common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
