. . i, i M it in r i vrvrrtr'-r" — ■• - ■■■ PAfUAiO AFnD THE • MEDICOS. WHAT THE f BBSS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. Tbe British Medkal Journal is very angry witli Lord i nslow. Tbe particular ca-ts.'ot' the Journil's wrath, is that our lute- Governor bus HDSO'.utely dared to; testify to the valr.e of remedies whose composition is not de ailed in the British Parnia-,-copceia The wrath is exp edsed as I follows : — We see with regret Lord uns!ow • shamelessly puffi ing quack Secret remedies by an advertised letter — aS seandalous an abuse of political position and as discreditable ! a folly as has been, for a long time nnder notice." 1 onr Lord Onslow ! The dj'speptic diatribe abore quoted owes it* exi-tcLica ,o doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actuall) had tlio courage to say so in print. Why the British Medical ' Jourha' should deem such testimony it high offence, and, judging by the strength of the language it uses, an almost criminal disdemeanour, I totally fail tc. s^e, save that the average medical mind is fanatically ogposed to any medioal innovation whioh does not proceed from recognised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with tbe medicos. .Almost every new advance m I in medical science has been bitterly attacked as *• as quackery "when it appeared, every new thinker dencunced as a madman or worse, and every formula not ha'l-markcd by tbe u Lancet " tmd "British Medical Journal ! ' as a dangerous inovation. ' Personally, while not having the plea-ure of a personal acquniutance witb either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with tbem and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies _ 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 gppd thing "tor a man with a j liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of the B.M.J. He appears to need it sadly, for the common apd dome&tio and ■•' recognised" podophyllin has evidently heen of no service to him, otherwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Remedies "-•" quaek and secret " though they he— are reported to be selling like the proverbial '' hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor' Mr Kempthorne is liloaiy to trouble about the wrath of the " Briiish Medical Journal." As for Lord < 'nslow, he is dt Home, and con fight his own battle. "Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail." Wairarapa ?___t, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy lor ail the illfc* that human fle-ili is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, ■more freely lavished than in New Zealand. 'I he sm^hine, playing on ii clear and sa uhiiou. tinosph* re, has left its impression on tho 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 impprfcant .matters. , Mother : Mary Aubert's New Zealand Beme_iea are preventive as well as curative. Wheji the first symptoms of sickness appear their power, in cutting short the at tack by ro using dormant organs and functions , to activity, is said to be remarkable. Insidious ailments resemble the bu;glar, 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 kingdom. Better than a'l, their oharacter bas beon proved, for they have been well tested, and the best proof.of their merits is that their sale is rapidly inc easing. Weekly Herald, April, 80, 1892. ? f A southern paper says : — '« What With Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata, and cold weather, typhoid ; fever has been driven frota the city of Wellington, and- the place is now 1 as healthy as any towu in New Zealand. l\o small share of the credil \ is due to t^be Eev. Mother Mary . Joseph Aubert for lhe production oi her unrivalled remedies. "' And as far as we are personally concerned w'e must say that, when any cne oi onr 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 p'ace at once.
