The celebrity of its HOT SPRINGS is extending throughout the length and breadth of the Colony, and the , WONDERFUL CURES. effect-d by the Waters in cases of RHEUMATISM. GOUT, LUMRAGO, LIVER, AND KIDNEY COMPLAINTS, INDIGESTION, and Kindred Ailments, are cratefully testified to in the Visitors' Book by Hundreds I of Persons who by their use have been lestorrd to Health and all its enjoyments. The place is par excellence the . Sanatorium of the People. The CLIMATE in its HEALTH-GIVING PROPERTIES is unsurpassed; the COST OF i LIVING is exceedingly MODERATE ; and the locality is easy of access by river, rail, or i road, from Auckland and the Thames. In ad- ! dition to these advantages there arc for the ' Rsbust abundant means of enjoyment in ' Boating, Riding, and Driving, while for those in delicate health the neatly laid out Domain forms a most pleasant resort. The following analysis of the \Vat°rs by Mr f- A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, and the accompanying ) extracts from bis report thereon to the Domain Board, will be read with interest. The Samples were taken from the Springs, as numbered, the temperatures of which ranged from lOodegs. to 119dess. Fahr:— 5 ~ ZJ~ Analysis. 6 3 °3!

These Waters are all feebly alkaline and strongly charged with carbonic acid gas, which is constantly escaping from the Springs in large quantities. The Lithia. a valuable constituent of 0 these Waters, is present in an appreciable quantity. The Analyses show _ these Springs to be very similar in composition. These Mineral Waters are exceedingly interesting, and will prove of great value medicinally. They closely 0 resemble some of the European Mineral Springs ro justly celebrated, more especially those of Vichy, Ems, and Fachingen. Their Curative 0 Value will be greatest in Rheumatic and Arthritic Diseases. Calculus, Affections ot the Kidneys, and Dyspepsia. You may rest assured n that all you can do for your Springs in the " shape of improving the facilities for their use, is entirely ustified by the character of the water. 0 /CHRISTMAS & XTEW TTEAR. 1886-7 0 JAMES S.
