PAfUMO AND THE MEDICOS, WHAT THE PRESS SAYS, TYPOGBAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zeaiaxb Tim as, May 14, 1892. The Briti-h Medical Journal is v.ry angry witb Lord nslmy. The particular cause of the Jcunnl's wrath is that our l.te Governor lims fibsolutolj dared to test iiy to the vulf.e of remedies whose composition 'S not do ailed 111 tho li.iti.b Parmacopceia The wrath is >. ns follows : — We see with regret Lorl tms'ow shami'les-'ly pu'riing quack secret remedies by un advertised letter— as scandalous an abuse of politioal position and as discreditable a folly a3 has been for a long time under notice." i oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its esibtencvj, o doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the M:iol*i herbal remedita prepared by Mother Aubert, actualK had the courage to sny .-o in print. Why the British Medical Journal should deim such testimony v high dDfence, and, judgiug by the strength of ihe language it u=e<3, an almost criminal disdemeanonr, I totally fail tr sO, save that the average medical mind is fanatically ogposecl to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with tbe medicos. Almost every new advance mli in 1 medioal science has beeu bitterly attacked as •• as quackery " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not ha 1-marked by the ,; Lancet " and " British Medi* cal Journal " as a dangerous inova* lion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I oan 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 "real good thing " tor a man with a liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of the B.M.J. He appear^ to need it sadly, for the ooipmon and domestio and •' recog* nised" 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 aud 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 ,l British Medical Journal." As for Lord < >nslo\v, he is tit Home, and con fight his own battle. - •' Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail." Waibab4b_ Stab, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy lor ail the ills that human flesh is heir to. In no parfc of the world is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, moreireely lavished than iv New Zealand. 'I he sunshine, paying on v olear and sa uhrious tiuosphere, has left its iinprts?Ln on th» fauna aud flora of the colony. The extinct moa, the womlrons coal deposits, proclaim the natural wealth of old New Zealand. The muscular Maori and the splendid forests survive. From these forests Mother Mary Aubert has compounded several important remedies, and we recommend the announcements elsewhere to the perusal, not simply of sick, but of those in health. "A stitch in time saves nine " applies to the healing art more than to less important matters. Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well as curative. When the first symptoms of sickness appear their power, in cutting short the attack by rousing dormant organs and functions to activity, is said to be remarkable. Insidious ailments resemble the burglar, but these remedies promptly applied give the alarm and make him decamp. 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 Now Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdon. Better tl.an al, their character has beon proved, for they have heen well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly mc easing. Weekly Heraxd, April, 80, 1892. A southern paper says : — '« What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natannta and cold weather, typhoid fever has been driven from the city of Wellington, and the place is now as h«althy as any town m New Zealand. JSo small share of the credit ia due to the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for ihe production of her unrivalled remedies.'' And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any cne of our staff is afflected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning we pour into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl condition takes place at once.
