J'AIUMU AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS fOU O*?CE AGREE. New Zealand Timfo, May U, W2. The British Mjdical Journal is v£ry aiigry with Lord • nslow. The particular ca - ise of the Journal's Wt-ftth is that our Lite Governor has nbsO'.Wtpiy dnred to testify to Ihe value of l'oiiiefHes Ify)iooe composition is not deailetl in the BfUfab Jtarmacopoeia Tha wroth is 5 as j follows :— We see with regret Lord ' uns'ow shamelessly pnftiing 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 Onslow ! The dyspeptic diati'ibe above quoted owes its exii-.tenco ,o doubt, to tlie fact that I ord Onslow, having f^und virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the coinage to S:iy .-o lin print. Wliy the British Medical Journ'«! should derm such testimony v high onvnee, and, judging by the strength of ihe language it uses, an almost criminal disdemeanonr, I totally fail tr so , saye that, the average medical mind is fanatically ogposed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every new advance m I in medical science has been bitterly attacked as •• as qnackory " when it appeared, every new thinker dencunced as a madman or worae. and every formula not ha 1-markod by the 4i Lancet" and " I'ritish Medical Journal " as a dangerous inova* tion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal, acqnniutance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with . them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies de« nounced 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 common and domestic and *' recog* nised " podopliyllln has evidently been of no service to him, otb-'Jiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph, As, however, the fi Maori iiemedies "—•" quack and secret " though they be — are reported to be selling like the proverbial ' hot cakes," neither Mother i Aubert nor Mr Kempthome is likely | to trouble about the wrath of the " Brhish. Medioal Journal." As for Lord t 'nslow, he is at Home, and con fight his- own battle.- " Sorutator," in "the " New Zealand Mail." Wairarapa £tar, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for nil the jlls that hu'iian fle*!i is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. Ihe sunshine, p'ayi-.ig on it clear iind sa uhrioiih trnosph. re, has left its impression on th« fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct moa, the wondrons 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 imporfcaut matters. Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Eemedies 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 butglar, 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 New Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than a!l, their oharacter has been proved, for they have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly inct easing. Weekly Herald, April, 30, 1892. A southern paper says :— " What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata, and cold weather, typhoid fever has been driven from the city of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy as any town in New Zealand. No 6mall share of the credit is due to the Eev. Mother . Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivall&d remedies." And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of onr staff is afflecled, i.o matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoain", we pour into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl condition takes plnoe at once.
