MINERAL SPRINGS.
Pi PE PUT DOWN AT AIAKARAKA.
“Globe Trotter,” writing in the “P.B. Independent’’ on December 8, 1885. says:— “T put in a few days at Ahikaraka and what astonishes me is that the mineral spring there is not more highly thought of. Why, in the hands of ail 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 tlie best London-brewed, double aerated soda water. Jt contains 10.87 of chloride of sodium, “26.5 S of chloride of calcium. 4.41 _o‘ carbonate and chloride of iron, with five or six other inviting ingredients. Drink a small „glassful directly >o'i get out of bed.'and have a hath in the water and you feel a new mail. It is a perfect pick-me-up.”
