■PABAMLO AISD THE - MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGHA.PHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDI i OKS FOR ONCE AGBEE. New Zealand Timks, May 14, 1892. The Briti.«li Medical Journal is very angry : with Lord unslow. The particular ca - ise of the Journal's wrath ig that otir late Governor has ..bsolutely dared td testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not de' ailetl in the British Parmacopwia. . /I'he, wrath is exp essed as follows ! ~:W© sac with regret Lord Unslow shamelessly pnttiing quack seoret remedies by an advertised letler — as scandalous an abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly a 3 hns beet tei" a long time under notice. ! ' I 'oor Loi'd Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact thut -1 ord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, ! actually had the coinage to s<iy .«o in print. Wby the British Medical : ' Journal should deem such testimony v high offence, and, judging by the strength of ihe language it uses, an almost criminal di.-demeauour, I totally fail tc see, save that tl}6 average medical mind is fanatically ogposed to any medical innovation whioh does, not proceed from recognised red taped sources. Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every new advance m d in medical science has been bitterly attacked as *' as quackery " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula nut ha'Wmarked by lhe "Laucet." snd " British Medical Journal " as a dangerous inova* tion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with theni 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" lor. 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" podopliyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otheiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. Ah, however, the "Maori Hemedios "-•" quack aud secret " though tbey be — are reported to be selling like the proverbial •• hot, vakeß,'' neither Mother i Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is likely to trouble' about the wrath' of the " British Medioal Journal." As for Lord « ns!o\v, he is at Home, and con fight his own battle. ■' Scrutator," in the " New Z aland Mail." Waikabapa mar, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be .Na'ure'ia great.. remedy fov ail tho ills that human flesh is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, iv rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than i?i New Zealand.", j-hesunshvie, playiug; on a clear aud sa n hi .out* tiuoeph^. c, has left its impiv'siion on the fauna and flora of tlie'colony. The extinct moa. the wondrons coal deposits, proclaim tlie natural wealth qfold New Zealand; %he muscular Maori and the splendid forests survive. Frbm these forests Mother Mary Aubert lias compounded several > important remedies, and we recommend the announcements elsewhere to the perusal, not simply of sidk, 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 aitack by rousing dormant organs and functions to activity, is said to be, remarkable. Insidious ailments 1 resemble the buglar, 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 maybe pernicious, but they are the pure products bf New Zealand sunshine dißtitted'tbrougb the vffgefca kle^ kingdom. Better than a'l, their character has, been proved, for they ha\e been well tested, and the best I roof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly inc- easing. Weekly Herald, April, 80, 181)2. A southern \ aper 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 healtb3 ; as any towu m New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Rev. Mother Maty Joseph Aubert for ihe pr duction of her unrivailtd 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 alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl eon* ditbn take" place at oncei
