When I arrived at Te Aroha l was stufering 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 unoasiness in my feet j in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am eompla cured and greatly improved in health.
