MINERAL SPRINGS.
PIPE PUT DO-WN AT ■MAKARAKA.
“Globe Trotter,” writing in tlie “P.B. Independent” on December 8, 1885, says:— “I put in a few days at Makaraka and what astonishes me is that the mineral spring there is not more highly thought of. Why, in the hands of an enterprising Yankee, that mineral water would bring in a regular pile—to drink, to bathe in, to do anything at all with. It flows out of a two-inch pipe, bright, clear, sparkling, like the - best London-brewed, double aerated soda water. It contains 10.87 of' chloride of sodium, 26.88 of chloride of.calcium, 4.41 o'* carbonate and chloride of iron, with five or s'x other inviting ingredients. Drink a small directly you' get out of bed, and have a bath in the water and you feel anew man. It is a perfect pick-me-up.” ZTu o''S'* mT sTSs b rrs B ifß bTb mTi ■T
