/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 | ducpd.



I may compare the Wa?-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombiercs, in France, where the late Emperor ISapoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting hia health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that, the Wal-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect parity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
