PABAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAIS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOPv ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The Biiti-h Medical Journal is v£ry angry with Lord < 'nslow. The particular cause of the Journal's wrath is that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not de ailed in the British Parmacopoeia The "wrath is exp essed as follows:— We see with regret Lord Uns'ow shamelessly purhing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter — as scandalous an abuse' of political position and as discreditable a folly a 3 has been for a long time under notice." l J oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, ha viug found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the con'rago to siy >o in print. Wny the British Medical Journai should deem- such testimony n high offence, and, judgiug by the strength of the language it lues, an almost criminal di.> demeanour, I totally fail tc s» j e, save that the average medical mind is fanatically ogpoaed to any medioal 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 denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not hall-marked by the li Lancet " and " British Medical Journal ' as a daugerous inoyation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquniutance 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 tbing " tor a man with a liyer, 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" podophylliu has evidently been of no service to him, otheiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Hemedies "—••' 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 " Brirish Medioal Journal." As for Lord < 'nslow, he is dt Home, and con fight his own battle. • l< Scrutai tor," in the " New #r aland Mail." Wairarapa -"tab, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for ail the ills that human fle^.i is heir to. In no part of the world is tho remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. Ihe sunshine, paying on ;i clear and sa'ubrioub itnosphfre, has left its impression on the fauna I and flora of tlie colon}'. The extinct moa. the wondrons coal deposits, proclaim the natural wealth iof 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 uealing art more than to leas important matters. Mother Mary ' Aubert's New Zealand Beme3ies 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 ren? ark able. Insidious ailments resemble the bu'glar, but 1 these remedies promptly applied give, the i alarm and make him decamp. There is no quackery about them, they are not foreign compounds of which people know nothing and which i may be pernicious, but they are the I pure products of Now Zealand sun--1 shine distilledthrougb 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 inct easing. Weekly Herald, April, 30, 1892. A southern paper says :— " What with Marnpa, 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 m New Zealand. Mo small share of the credit is due to the Eev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the pr. duction of her unrivalled remedies '' And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our staff is afflected, no matter from what cause, even alcohplic poisoaing, we poor into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a norm-1 condition takes pla'.e at once.
