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. These Mineral Waters arc exceedingly interesting, and will prove of gro£st value medicinally. They closely resemble some oi' the European Mineral Springs so justly celebrated, more especially those oi Vichv, Ems, and Facliingen. Their Curative Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases, Calculus, Affections of the Kidneys, and Dyspepia. Yon may rest assured that all you can do for your Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is cut Bely justified by jtlie 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 France ; Bilin, Bohemia; Ems, Nassau ; and are besides quite equal to them in strength.” The following brief extracts are selected from among somohundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have bean given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfield, Wellington. ‘ Having been at Te Aroha four weeks, and hav j ing obtained great relief 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 incapacitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely free from pain, and am able to walk a moderate distance.” 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 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 sny I can move about with considerable ease, while the pi n from which I have suffered so long ha 3 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 To Aroha.” 1 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 I shall, in the interests of humanity' make known the special virtues of the Te ( Aroha Springs.” - From Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bane ofN.Z., Napier. “I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot baths. I have bees subject for many years to rheumatism, and in Ap -i 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 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 j in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am com pie ply cured and greatly imprb'yed in' health.” 1 ‘ Dr W. B, Ebson of Onehunga, Auck land. “ The analysis uf 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 1 El Dorado ’ for themajority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rhematism, gout, a large number kidney affections, aid last, but not least, that common : ill ' flesh is heir to —dyspepsia. • ■ ■ |
