The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

[analysis conclusion]

These analyses not being made on the spot, it should be borne in mind that some of the more delicate and volatile components of the water must have, to a great extent, evaporated.

In addition to the above, there are two other springs, of a totally different character, which have not yet been analysed, viz., one known as the beach spring, strongly impregnated with sulphur, which it is intended to at once utilise, by erecting a bath and dressing-rooms; and a second containing other minerals. Thus there are three distinct, known mineral springs on the property, suitable to a great diversity of complaints.

There is abundant testimony that the curative properties of the water afford, more or less relief to ninety out of every hundred who have used the baths. Invalids, who have been laid up for weeks, months, and even years, and have remained at the Springs for only a few weeks, have left thoroughly recovered by a judicious use of the baths, and drinking freely of the water. The number of written certificates and testimonials received from many of the cured, fully bears out this statement; some who came to the Springs with very forlorn hopes, have left thoroughly restored to health. The water can also be aerated, and, when bottled, resembles soda-water, containing all the medicinal qualities of the Waiwera Springs, and is pleasant to take.
