IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AS TO THE VALUE OF THE BATHS, Ac. Sir James Hector states:—" They are similar to the waters of Vichy and Chandesaignes, in ' France ; Biiic, Bohemia; Eras, Nassau; jand are besides quite equal to them in strength.” * The following brief exti acts are seleo from among some hundreds of testimoiiials a similar character which have been from time to time : .From Bishop lladfield, Wellington • ‘ Ha vi ng 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 ro ceived Having had a very severe fall, which occasioned me much pain •‘in my back and considerable inconvenience, and which ■ in .capacitated me for any exertion for nine weeks, I am now almost entirely' free from pain, and am able to walk a moderatedistance. Prom Mr J. Holloway, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand,, Kelson: “Ifeel lought to place on. record my high appreciation of ihe waters of your justly famous baths For many months past I havo« suffered from a severe attack of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painful nature... Af-:er 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 uf health to try the : waters of Te Aroha. > From. Captain T, Fraser, M.L.C. Dunklin '* I sliall be pleased if you will ive me an opportunity of publicly expressingmy opinion of the. Te Aroha Springs. Since my residence at Te Aroha, from, what T have seen ana heard, 1 am convinced that these spring? contain extraordinary curative properties to' the following complaints : Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms,: dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders; and as the springs ar t proved to contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be effiacicus iff renal corjplaiffts, Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues- of the Te Aroha Sprincs.” . * From Mb Balfour,; Manaskb of tub Bank ofN.Z., Napier. “ I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the To Aroha hot baths. I have beea subject ior many years to rheumatism, anj. iu 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. TVlien I arrived at Te Aroha 1 was- suffering mucli'frpni 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; iu fact, I may safely and truly say that at present I am ounpla ,el; cured and greatly improved in health. . Dr W. R. Ebson of .Oneiiunga, 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 1 El Dorado’ for the majority of unfortunipe sufferers in most forms of rheumatism tjout, a latge number ol kidney affections, and fast, but m.t least, that complaint which flesh heir to-dyspepsia.
