From Mb 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 many months past I have suffered from a severe attack of sciatica aud lumbago, ending 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 To Aroha, “ " From CaptaihT, Fraser, M.L.C. Dumsmn “ I shall be pleased _if you will ive me an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinion of the Te Aroha Springs. £ince my residence - at Te Aroha, from what I have seen ana heard, I am convinced that these spring* contain extraordinary curative properties fa' 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 effiacicua in renal complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha Sprines.” From Mr Balfour, Manager of the Bank: ofN.Z., Napier. • 2 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, wbic i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainly inany remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha’ l was suifering much from rheumatism; which prevented my, sleeping at night, and made walking duriug 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 complo floured and greatly improved in health. „ • Db W. R. Ebson of Onehunga, Aucklano. “ 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 u»fortund: ate sufferers in most forms of rheumatisfn gout, a largo Damber of kidney affections, and last, but a not least, that complaint which flesh heir to—dyspepsia. , ■.
