Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain in my back and considerable inconvenience,—and which in-, capacitated rue for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now. almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderatedistance.” From Me 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 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 niy friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Te Aroha,” From Captain T, Fraser, MJj.C. Dunedin, “ I shall be pleased Jf 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 Bprings 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'interests of humanity make known the special virtues of the Te Aroba Springs.” From Mr Balfour. Manager of the Bank ofN.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 j for many years to rheumatism,! and 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 hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha i was suffering much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and ipade walking during the day a difficulty (but from using No: 2 bath for a little over three weeks, the;pains- hare entirely left my liead, and ..do,not give any uneasiness in my feet j, in fact,, I may safely and truly say that at present I am complexly cured and greatly improved in health.”/;! ; Dr W, R, Esson, ■ qi; Onehunga, Auck ; land.
