TE AROHA HOT SPRINGS. AS a SUMMER RETREAT not one among the SANATORIA of New Zealand is so rapidly becoming fsaaotis as TE AROHA. The celebrity of its HOT SPRINGS is extending throughout the length- and breadth of the Colony, and the WONDERFUL CURES affected by the Waters in cases of RHEUMATISM, GOUT, LUMBAGO, LIVER AND KIDNEY COMPLAINTS, INDIGESTION, and Kindred Ailments, are gratefully testified to in the Visitors’ Book by Hundreds of Persons who by their use have been restored to Health and all its enjoyments. The place is par excellence TH E SANATORIUM OF THE PEOPLE. The CLIMATE in its HEALTH-GIVING PROPERTIES is unsurpassed ; the COST OF LIVING is exceedingly MODERATE; and the locality is easy of access byIUYKR, rail, or road from Auckland and the Thames. In addition to these ad vantages there are for the Robust abundant means of enjoyment in BOATING, RIDING, AND DRIVING,. while foi those in delicate health the neutly laid out Domain forms a most pleasant resort. The following analysis of the Waters by Mr J. A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, and the accompanying extracts from his leport thereon to the Domain Board, will bt read with interest. The Samples were taken from the Springs, as numbered, the temperatures of which ranged from lOodegs. to 119degs. Fahr • - Results expressed in grains per gallon. “ Tln-re Waters are all feebly alkaline and ftrongly charged with carbonic acid eas. which is constantly esc.p ng from the Springs in large quantities. The Lithia, a valuable constituent of these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analysis show these Springs to be very similar in composition. The.e Mineral Waters *»r>* exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely resemble some of the European Mineral Spring* so justly celebrated, more especially those ot Vichy, Kms. andFachingen. Their Curativ- Value will be greatest in Rheumatic, and Arthiitic Diseases, Calculus. Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspopia. Yon nmvre«t assured that all you can do for vonr Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is cmiieiy justified by the character of the water.” IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states:—“ They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in Prance ; Bilin, Bohemia; Eros, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in strength.” The following brief extiacts nre selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfip.lu, Wellington. ‘Having been at Te Aroha four weeks,, and having obtained great relief from the use- of bath No. 3, I think it well to add my testimony to that of others which you hare 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 for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain.andnm ahleto walk amnderaledistance." From Mr J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson: “I feel lought to place on record ray 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 h*ve suffered so long has almost left me. It will be my pleasure as well as n»y duty to recommend all my friends who may be in search of health to try the waters of Tc Aroha." From Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dttnkdin, “ 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 geut, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be effiacions in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interns 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 n«ing the Te Aroha hot baths. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in Ap-i last had a very severe attack, wliic 1 prored obstinate to shake off, 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 bead, and do not give anv uneasiness in my feet; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am complexly cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W. It. Erson of Oxehfnga, A tick 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 as the ‘ El Dorado ’ for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most fonns of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, a id last, but not least, that common ill which flesh is heir to —dyspepsia.
