I may compare the Wai-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a high Glass natural Mineral Water. ! A. G.
