From Mb J. Holloway, Manager of tho Bank-of Nelson: “ I feel I Aught 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 Aroha, I am thankful to say I can move about with considerable ease, while the pain from which I have suffered so iong has almost - left me. It. will be my pleasure as \vellas my duty to recommend all my friends who may be in seurch of health to try the waters of Te Aroha. Fkom Captain T, Fbaseb, M.DiC.

Aroha, from what I have seen and heard, I-axn convinced that these spring? contain extraordinary curative properties ta' the following complaints: Suppressed gout, rheumatism in all its forms, dyspepsia, and cutaneous disorders; and as the springs approved io contain heavy traces of lithia, they must be efliacicus in renal Complaints. Wherever I go I shall, in the interests of humanity, make known the special virtues of the Te Aroha SSrincrs.” ! . Feo4'Mk Balfour, Manager of the Bank ofN.Z.lNapier. “ I wish to testify to the very great relief I have experienced from using the Te Aroha hot bathe. I have been subject dor many years to.rheumatism, ana in April last had a very severe attack, whic 1 proved obstinate to shake off, and after trying vaihiy many, remedies, was ordered to the hot springs. When I arrived at Te Aroha 1 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 ,el» cured and greatly improvecf in health. * \ Db W.
