Snodgrass & Sons'.* "Whisky and Sod-" which has long baen a favourite combination of drinks by those who are not avarse to an occasional __uip, as well as by thosa who take a nip fairly regularly, is beiag run pretty b£.rd for popularity by another combination—"Tne two W s '— Whi3ky and Wairongoa. According to those who .know, the advantages are all in favour of the latter combination. It .is claimed for "Wairongoa". Natural mineral water that" it is by far the best Natural table water yet discovered in New Zealand. It has its source deep under the well-knotfa Maungatoa Mouutain; aud tbat it come 3 under tremendous pressure is eyiderioad -by the largo quantity of natural gaa it contains. The early settlers in this Joojlity, 40 -or 50 year 3 ago, quickly discovered the great healing virtues of the springs and anaemic and debilitated persons, and thoss suffering from dyspepsiiu rneumatisiu, the results of overwork, or the evil effect's of dissipation, were wont to repair to the springs, and go in 'for a cours'eof treatment. Manytalos have bean- told by old settlors df the great benefit derived by. sufferers from the "Waiiongoa" watars Messrs Thomson and Co., of Dunedin, years ago, were fortu nate enough to secure the whole of the watershed iv the vicinity of toe springs (over 160-aores), and they nave converted the property into a beautiful park under the constant care of a landscape gardener, tuusv preventing all possibility of contaminjtion of tbe wells. They nave erected a larg a factory on tbe property, equipped" with tfio latest and beat folia silver-lined machinery for bottling the waters and charging with natural- gas collected from" the springs. Thus the water ooines to the public in a pura and natural state. No matter what the season, wet or dry, the volume of water Bowing at the spring never varies — it is behoved to be inexhaustible. " Wairongoa" water is most pleasant to the taste, being delightfully snsp.and full of "life" and sparkle. It is much "softer" than soda water; and being slightly astringent, is a much more wholesome drink in every way. Those who get into the habit of mixing it with •itber drinks are said to find it truly beneficial. It -mixes perfectly witn milk, wines, spirits, ales, etc. As an antaid and dietetic it is of great benefit in cases of dyspepsia, gout, rheumatism, sciatica, eto., while the iron it contains makes it of great value to those suffering from anaemia or debility.
