Rheumatism will never be cured while the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic inflammatory action in the muc 'Us membrane lining of the stomach, liver,' and bowels.

BEPOKT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIEBI, N.Z. /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 Wai-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Piombieres, in France, where the late ist»peror 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 class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
