PABAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONOE AGREE. j New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. I The Bri.ish Medical Journal is j very angry with Lord i inslow. The particular ca'ise of the Journal's ! wrath is that our late Governor has 1 absolutely dared to testify to the j value of remedies whose composition [ is not derailed in the British Parmai copceia. The wrath is exp essed as follows :— We see with regret Lord Unslow shamelessly puffiing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter— as scandalous an abuse of politioal position and as discreditable a folly as has been for a long time under notice." I 'oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to tbe fact that lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the courage to s. y *o in print. Why the British Medical Journal should deem snch testimony a high offence, and, judgiug by the strength of the language it uses, an almost criminal di^demeanonr, I totally fail tc 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 d in medical science haa been bitterly attacked as '• as quackery" when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not hal-marked by the ' ; Lancet" and " British Medi* cal Journal " as a dangerous inova* tion. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with tbem and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Eemedies 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 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. As, however, the "Maori Eemedies "— ■" 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 " British Medioal Journal." As for Lord < 'nslow, he is at Home, and con 6ght his own battle. - " Scrutator," in the " New Zealand .Mail." Waibabapa .'-tab, May 3, 1893. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy I'or all the ills tbat human flesh 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 sunshine, playing on n clear and sa'ubrious ; tmosphere, ba3 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 liealiug art more than to less important matters. Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Eemedies are preventive as well a. 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 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 kingdon. Better than al, their character has been proved, for they ha\e been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly inoi easing. Weekly Hebald, Apbil, 80, 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 towu m New Zealand. No 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 cno of our staff is afflected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning we pour into him a bottle of Marnpa when restoration to a normrl condition takes place ftt once,
