You may rest, assured Pintail you ran do for vour Springs in the shape of improving the facilities for their use, is outbeiy justified by tlie character of the water.” IMPORTANT TESTIMON 7 AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states:—“ They are similar to the waters of V ; ohy and. Cliandesaignes, in Pr- n -h ; Bilim Bohemia ; Sms, Na. sail; and are besides quite equal to them in strength.” The following brief extiacts are selected from among some hundreds of testimonials of a similar character which have been given from time to time : From Bishop Hadfield, 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 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 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 m.y 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, 11 1 shall be pleased if you will give me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. Since rny 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 beeffiaeious 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 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 been subject for many years to rheumatism, and in Apri last had a very severe attack, wide i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly many remedies, was ordered to the hot s_.rings. 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 I am eomple ,ely cured and greatly improved in health.” Dr W. R. Eeson of Onkhunga, Auck land. “ The analysis of the springs at Te Aroha, and the highly medicinal value of their constituents at on.tfe 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.
