.PAlUivi.o AND THE i MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. ■TYPOGBAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS W5 ONCE AGREE - New Zealand Times, May I*%, 1892 - Tbe Briti li Medical Journal is V£i\y angry witb Lord nslow. The pavtietilat b&'ise of the Jounvil's wrath is tbat our UtC Oa.-ernoi- has absolutely dared to tes Miy to lhe valne of remedies whose composition is not derailed in the Britisli JParmacopoeia. The wrath is \ as follows : — Wo see witb regret Lord uns ! ow shamelessly puftiing 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'oor Lord Ouslnw ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence ,o doubt, to tbe fact that Lord Onslow, baving found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actual!., had tho courage to s 13' .-0 in print. Wliy tbo British Medical : Journal sliould derm such testimony a higb offence, aud, judging by the strength of ihe language it uies, an almost criminal di.demeauonr, I totally fail tc B*-e, save that the average medical mind is fanatically ogposed to any medical innovation wliich does not proceed from recognised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every new advance rn I in medical science haa beeu bitterly attacked as '• as qn aci; nry " wben it appeared,, every new thinker de» ncunced as a madman or worse, and every formula not ha 1-marked by the "Lancet " and " l.ritish Medical Journal : ' as a dangerous inova - tion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acqimintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with tbem and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Eemedies de« nonnced 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 appears to need it sadly, for the oommon and dome*_tie and •' recog* nised " podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, othei wise he would nover havo penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, tho "Maori Remedies "— ••' quack and secret " though they be— are reported to be selling like the proverbial •' hot cakes," neither Mother 1 Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is likely to trouble about the wrath of the " Bri.ish Medieal Journal." As for Lord • 'nslow, he is at Home, and eon fight his own battle. '' Scrutator," in tbe " New Z --aland Mail." Wairarapa > w tar, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy lor ail the ills that human tie . U is heir to. In no part of the w**rld is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, more iraely lavished than in New Zealand. Ibe sunshine," p-uying on f" clear and Ra übrious tinosph're, has left its impression on the fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct moa, the woudrons coal deposits, proclaim the natural 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 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 i Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well a_ curative. When thefirst 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 buiglar, bufc 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 1 kingdom. Better than al, their character has been proved, for they . have been well tested, and the best proof of tbeir merits is that their sale is rapidly increasing. , Weekly Hebald, April, 30, 1892. ! 1 A southern paper says :— " "What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid 5 fever has been driven from the city ■ of Wellington, and the place is now ' as healthy as any town m New Zeal--1 and. No small share of the credit j is due to the Eev. Mother JMary - Joseph Aubert for ihe pr»duction of her unrivalled remedies.'' And as J far as we nre personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our staff is afflected, uo matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl condition takes p'ace at once;
