I may compare the Wal-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor ISapoleon 111 often visited for the purpose, of benefiting his health, j 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 high class natural Mineral Water.
