Having had a very severe fall, which occ .sioned me much pain in my hack and considerable inconvenience, and which incapacitated me for any exertion for nino weeks, .1 am now almost entirely free from pain,andam able to walk amoderafedistance.” From Mr «T. 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 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 effiacious in renal complaints. Wherever I go 1 shall, in the interests of humanity make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs.” L 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 bath 9. I have been subject 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 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 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 lam complexly cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W, R, Ebson of Onehunqa, Acck 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 forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but not least, that common ; ill.which flesh is heir to—dyspepsia. i ' j
