Every description of BOOTS AND SHOES MADE TO ORDER on the premises. Please Note the Address : A. J. COOPER, Two doors from J. Dick's Gisborne Hotel, LOWE STREET. PURIRI MINERAL WATER! BOTTLED AT THE ftATURIL SPRINGS. COOL, EFFERVESCING, AND INVIGORATING. rpHE CURATIVE PROPERTIES X of the above WATER have been known for many years. ' •■ ' : The isolated position of the Spring has previously prevented the water from having been brought prominently before the public. It has been a speoific amongst the aboriginals for generations, and Europeans have camped in the vicinity to obtain its medicinal assistance. As an serated water it is unsurpassed, having a peculiarly pleasant flavour. Medicinally the water is placed on the market in its natural state, carefully bottled and wired. Below will be found the reports arid analyses, also medical testimonies from gentlemen well known in iheir profession. Extract from report by Dr. Hector, Wellington :r-^ " You will observe from the attached table of composition that by far the larger proportion of solid matter consists of bi-oarbonate.of soda, < giving to the water a strong caustic re-action. It therefore belongs to the interesting group of mineral waters known as the Alkaline, to which many of the Spas on the Continent of Europe belong; such as Oichy in Fiance and Fachingen in Nassau, which were resorted to for the cure of diseases in the digestive organs, and especially for diseases of the kidney and bladder, and for removing constitutional tendency to gout." Analysis by Mr. Skey, Wellington. Solid constituents in grains per gallon • Soda, 199 01- potash, 2*587 ; lime, 11*088 ; magnesia; B*ooß ; iron, traces ; silicic acid, 2*772 ; sulphuric acid, 2 903; carbonic acid, 300:438 ; phosphoric acid, traces ; chlorine, 13-313 j iodoine, traces. These elements are probably combined in the following manner : — Bi-carbonate of soda ... 452-393 ditto of lime ... 28*506 ditto of magnesia... 25*625 Chloride of sodium ... 21*938 Sulphate of potash ... 4*938 ditto of soda ... 0*940 Silica ... ... ... 2*772 lodine of magnesium ... Traces Phosphate of soda ... Traces 537112 Auckland, October 17th; 2878. I have examined a sample of water furnished to -me by Messrs Kelly and Fraser, obtained from the Puriri Spring. 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, which would be very advantageous to patients requiring alkaline treatment. The appended analysis by Mr. Skey is most full and complete. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will prove valuable in cases such as those above-mentioned.

If the Puriri Water is taken in a methodical manner, with regard to diet, exercise, &c, it can be best compared in value to the celebrated mineral waters of Kissengen in Bavaria, which,, are beueficially used in most cases of diseases of the digestive organs. it is a refreshing and cooling dring, although, in my opinion, preferable in its natural state for ' medical purposes. - (Signed) R.
