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 able to walk a moderate distance.” From Mb 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 monthß 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 1 of health' to fry the waters of Te Arolia.” From Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunedin, <• I shall be pleased if you will give me an pppoi tunity of publicly expressing my opinion of tho 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 lenal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity make known the special virtues of the T-e Aroha Springs.” From Mr Balfotjr, Manager of the Bank 9F 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, apd in Apri last had a very severe attack, whic i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hpt springs. When I arrived qt Te Aroha T was, suffering much from rheumatism, which presented my j sleeping at night, and made walking during | the day a difficulty; but from using No. 2 bath : for a little ovqr three weeks, the. pains have entirely left foy head, and do not give any imoasiness 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. R, Ebson qu Qnehunga, Auck Iland. “ 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 I the ‘ El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortun-ate-sufferers-in most forms of rhematism, : gout, a large number kidney affectionaj, aid : ;last, but not least, that, common ill which i is heir to ‘ ' i j
