Sir James Hector states'-—” They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in France ; Biiin, Bohemia; Eios, Nassau; and are besides quite equal tothem 1 in stren* th.” The following brief extiacts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. ‘ Having been at TeArohn four weeks, and having obtnined great rilief 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 occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which incapa itated me, for any exertion tor nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain,andam ableto walk amoderatedistanee.” 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 s severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly' in complications of scarcely less painfull nature. After about a month’s residence af Te Arnha, I am thankful to say I can moveabout 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 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 effiaciotts in renal complaintL Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity make known the special! virtues of the Te Aroha 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, ar.d 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 buth for a little over three weeks the pains har e 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 com pie .ely cured and greatly improved in health.” ( Dr W, Rl Epson of Onehunsa, Auck land. “ Hie analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at once indicate a residence t here, and a course of judicious.treatment as the * El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of .rliematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but. not least, that common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
