PAB^MO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The British Medical Journal is very angry with Lord t »nslow. The particular ca - tse of the Journal's wrath is that our lato Governor has absolutely dared, to .testify- to _ the value of remedies wnosejcomp'osition is not de' ailed in the British Parmacopcetia The wrath is exp essed as follows :— We see with regret Lord Unß!ow shamelessly pulhing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter— as soandalouS an abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly a3 has been for a long time under notice." i.'oor Lord Onslow ! 'lhe dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its exibteuce, no doubt, to the fact that 1 ord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the courage to say so in print. Wliy the British Medical Journal should cledn such testimony a high offence, and, judgiug by the strength of the language it uses, an almost criminal dbdemeanour, I totally fail tr. see, save 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 quackery " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and eveiy formula not hall-marked by the "Lancet " and " British Medical Journal " as a dangerous inova' tion. Personally, while not having the plea-ure of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies denounced as " quaok 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 •' reoog* nised" podophylliu Ims evidently been of no service to him, o thai wise 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 Mi* Kempthorue is likely I to trouble about the wrath of the 11 British Medical Journal." As for Lord "nslow, he is at Home, and con fight his own battle. - •' Scrutator," in the <( New Zealand Mail." Waibabapa £tab, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy tor ail the ills that human flesh is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, moi'e freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshiue, p'ayiug on ii dear and sa'ubrioub tmosphere, has left its impression on the 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 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 6aid 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 kingdom. Better than al, their character has been proved, for they have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly increasing. Weekly Herald, April, 80, 1892. A soubhern paper says :— «•• What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid fever has been driven from the oity of Wellington, and the plaoe is now as healthy as any town in New Zealand. No small share of the credit ia due to the Rev. Mother AJ ary Joseph Aubert for i he pr iduction of her unrivalled remedies " And as far us we are personally conceroed we must say that, when any en& of onr staff is afflected, uo matter Irom what cause, even alcoholic poisouf.n**, we pour into him a bottlo of Maxupa when restoration to a normrl condition lakes place at once.
