Mineral Water. PlJllllil MINERAL _WATER! BOTTLED AT THE NATURAL SPRINGS. COOL, EFFERVESCING, AND INVIGORATING. rnHE CURATIVE PROPERTIES OP THE X above WATER Lave been known fov 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 specific amongst the aboriginals for'generations, and Europeans have camped in tho vicinity to obtain its medicinal assistance, As an cerated water it is unsurpassed, having a peculiarly pleasant flavour. Medicinally the water is placed on tho market in its natural state, carefully (.bottled and wired. Below will be found the reports and analyses, also medical testimonies from gentlemen well known in their profession. Extract from report by Dr Hector, Wellington. You will observe from the attached table of composition that by far the larger proportion of solid matter consists of bi-carbonate 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 Ppns on the Continent of Europe belong, such as Vichy in France and Fachingen in Nassau, which were resorted to for the cure of diseasc-s of the digestive organs, and especially for diseases of the kidney and bladder, and for removing constitutional tendency to gout., Analysis by Mr Skey, Wellington. Hoi id constituents in grains per gallon: Soda, 199*01; potash, 2'557; lime, 11*088; magnesia, 8-008: iron, traces; silicic acid, 2'772; sulphuric acid, 2*903; carbonic acid, 300'438; phosphoric acid, traces; chlorine, 13*313 i iodine, 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 lodide of magnesium ... Traces Phosphate of soda ... Traces 537*112 Thames, September 24th, 1878, Having often visited the Puriri Springs, and also having practically tested tho water in a medical point of view, I have great pleasure in testifying to its general excellence. As" a pleasant, agreeable, and invigorating everage, it is unsurpassed, especially in the summer months. As a therapeutic aeent, considering tho large per centage of carbonic acid, and from the close resemblance in its solid contents with many of the mineral waters of Europe—notably those of Kissengen in Bavaria, of Faehingen in Nassau, and Vichy in France (as testified by analysis), we may confidently expect the Puriri Water to be equally useful in all cases in which similar European waters would be prescribed; as a stimulating alterative on tho digestive organs, in liver and abdominal diseases, in diabetes, and in gouty, rheumatic, and calculus affection?. In sickness I have found it of great value, more especially in that of pregnancy. In sea sickness I should expect it to be oi equal tervico. It is water which I would recommend frequently, and that from a well foundod beliel in its excellency. (Signed) MARTIN 17. PAYNE, F.C.S., L.8.C.P., M.B.C. 15 . Auckland, October 17th, 1878. 1 have examined a sample of water furnished to me by Messrs Kelly and Eraser, obtained from the Puriri ,'pring, I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rheu- , matism. When charged with carbonic acid it formi an agreeable effervescing drink, which would i be very advantageous tD patients requiring ' alkaline treatment. The appended analysis by Mr Skey is rnosl ; ful and complete. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will prove valuable in cases sucl as thoso above-mentioned, (Signed) CHARLES F GOLDSBRO, RC.P, Thames, October Ist, 1878, In reply to your request for an opinion ol .the Puriri Water, I am happy to say that il 1 promises to be a most useful addition to th< i means of cure at the commaiid of persons affected by gout in its various forms. Moreover, the water is extremely palatable, and may be advantageously employed as a beverage by all who are fond of a clear anc sparkling drink. Its chemical constitution strongly resembles the celebrated waters of Vichy. (Signed) JAMES KILGOUB, M.D, _ Auckland, 14th October, 1878. If the Puriri Water is taken in a methodica manner, with due regard to diet, exercise, &c.l it can be best compated in value to the celebrated mineral waters of Kissengen in Bavaria, which are beneficially used in most cases oi diseases of the digestive organs. jErated, it is a refreshing and coolinq; drink, although, in mj opinion, preferable in its natural state for medical purposes, (Signed) R.
