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 cf sciatica and lumbago, ending ■ latterly in complications of scarcely less painful nature. Afier about a month’s residence at Te Aroha, l am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain 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 1 Aroha. From Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunedih “ I shall be pleased if you will ive 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 lo* the following complaints : Suppressed gour, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and - ' cutaneous disorders; and as the springs are proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be effiacicus in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Springs.” Fbom Mb 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 baths. I have been subject , for many years to rheumatism, ana in April 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 ,vas 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 complg cured and greatly improved in health. .'i : Db W, R.
