Fkom Mb J. Hollowav; 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 of sciatica and lumbago, ending latterly in complications of scarcely less painful nature. After about a month’s residence at Te Arpha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while, the pain from which I have suffered so longJias 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 Ta Arolia.

S' From Captain T, Fraseb, 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 wh&t I have seen ana heard, I am convinced that these spring? contain extraordinary cuiative properties !<?' 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 iitliia, 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.” From Me 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 bath 9. I have been subject for many years to rheumatism, ana in April last had a very severe attack, whie i proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vainiy many remedies, was ordered to the hot s irings. When I arrived at Te Aroha 1 was suffering* much from rheumatism, which prevented my sleeping at night, and made valking 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 Bay that at present I am complo ,el* cured and greatly improved in health. Dr W. R. Ebson of Onehunga, Auckland. “ The analysis of the springs at Xe 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 ilesh heir to—dyspepsia.
