GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES-It Is Invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced. . I may compare the Wal-rongoa bpnngs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Ecoperor Napoleon HI often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the resatya of my investigation, I am of opinion that, the Wal-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a. bigh class natural Mineral Water. A, G.
