Traces MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: As a pleasant, agreeable and invigorating beverage it is unsurpassed ; as a therapeutic agent we may confidently expect Puriri Water to be equally useful in all cases in which European waters would be prescribed ; as a stimulating alterative on the digestive organs In sickness I have found it of great value. It is water which I would recommend frequently. ■'„ MARTIN H. PAYNE, ■ F. 0.5., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S. I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rheumatism. When charged with carbonic acid it forms an agreeable effervescing drink. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will provo valuable in cases such as those above mentioned. CHARLES F. GOLDSBRO, R.O.P. It promises to be a most useful addition to the means of cure at the command of persons affected by gout in its various forms. It is ■extremely palatable, and may be advantageously employed as a beverage b> T all who are fond of a clear and sparkling a*rink. Its chemical constitution strongly resembles the waters of Vichy. J. KILGOUR, M.D. Puriri water can be best compared in value to the celebrated waters of Kissing*.'n in Bavaria, beneficially ÜBed in cases of die eases of the digestive organs. iErated it is a cooling and refreshing drink.
