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 jußtly famous baths For many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, onding latterly in complications of scarcely less painful nature. After about a month’s residence at Te Aroha, I 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 Aroha. From Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunedin “ 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 ana heard, I am convinced that these spring? contain extraordinary curative properties tv' the following complaints : Suppressed gour, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and [ cutaneous disorders; and as the springs areproved 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 Sprint's.” • ... 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 April last had a very severe attack, whic r 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; in fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am complo idcured and greatly improved in health. Dr W, R, Ebson of Oneilunga, Auckland, “ 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 by the ‘ El Dorado’ for the majority of unfortunate sufferers in most forms of rheumatism gout, a large namber of kidney affections, and last, but not least, that complaint which flesh heir to—dyspepsia.
