EEPOET ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. /GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MKDIOIN A.L PURPOSES—It is invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular wat«r will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water muoh stronger, artificially pro duced. I may compare the Wai-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at PJombiercs, in France, where the late Emperor iNapoieon 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 parity and especiallysuitablefor preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
