PAE^MO AND THE MEDICOS. what the prebs says. typogbaphioal testimony. the editors for qnc& agree. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The Briti«h Medical, Journal is vivy angry with Lord < The partioular cause ; of. .the. Journ.il's wrath is that our lu.e Governor has rtbsohitelj dared tp testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not de' ailed in the British Parmacopoeia The wrath is expressed as follows:— We see with regrefc Lor.l Uns'ow shamelessly puffiing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter— as scandalous an abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly as has been for a long time under notice^." "I'dor.'l^ci .Qnslow J The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existeijca, uo doubt, to the faot that 1-ord Onslow, having fuund virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared- by-Methor Aubert, actually had the; courage to say t-o in print. Why the 'British' Medical Jour nn i should deem ,such testimony v high offence, arid, judging by the strength of the language : it use*}, an almost; cyiminal disdemeanour, I totally fail tc 's«-e, save that the average medical mind is fanatically ogpbsed to any medical .innovation which does not proceed from recog« nised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every new advance mdc in medioal science has been bitterly attacked as •• as quaokory " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not, ha'l*markod by the "Lancet "and " British Medi* cal Journal " as a dangerous inova* tion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Aubert or Air Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies denounced as " quack secret remedies." Only one of those same " quack remedies" do I know, and that ••Karana" to wit, which; as a 'I real good thing " tor a man with a liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of the B.M.J. He appears to need it sadly, for the common and domestic and •' recognised" podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otherwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Remedies" — "quack and secret" though they be— are reported to be selling like the proverbial " hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is likely to trouble about the wrath of the •' British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow, he is at Homeland con fight his own battle. -•• Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail." Waibarapa Stab, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for ail the ills that human flesh is heir to. ' In no part of the worjd is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshiue, playing on a dear and sa übrious : tmosphpre, has left its impression on the fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct moa, the wondrons coal deposits, proclaim the iiaturaj wealth of old New Zealand. The muscular Maori and the splendid forosts survive. From these forests Mother Mary Aubert has compounded several important remedies; and we recommend the announcements elsewhere to the perusal, not simply of siqk,, but of those in health. "A stitjuh in time saves nine" applies to the healing art more than to less important matters. Mother Mary Aubert'B New Zealand Eemeiies are preventive as well as curative. When the first symptoms of sicknesjs >p. pear their power, in cutting ; sbort the attack by rousing dormant organs and functions to activity, is said,, to be remarkable. Irisidipus aUmeirts: resemble the burglar, but these remedies promptly applied give, the alarm arid make him deoamp. There is no quackery about them* they are not foreign compounds of which, people know nothing and which may be pernicious, but they are the pure products of New Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than a'l, their character has been proved, for they have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly mci easing. Weekly Hbbald, Apbh, 80, 1892. A southern paper says :'-^« What with Maropa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata, and ooia weather, typhoid fever has been driven from the ! oity of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy as atiy town in New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Eev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivalled remedies." And a,s far aB we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of. our staff is afilected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we poor into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl condition takes place at once.
