/I OVERNMBNT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES-It is invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, thia particular water will be much mote beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro ducetl. I may compare the Wat-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springe at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Mpoleon 111 often visited for i 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 parity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
