When I .arrived at Te Aroha I was sulfering 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-.f tfg&y safely and truly say that at present i""_hfcomple floured and greatly improved in health.
