PAEAMO AND THE MEDIOOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The British Medical Journal is v?ry angry with Lord < nslow. The particular ca'ise of the Journal's 1 wrath is that our bite Governor has ! i.bsolutol;/ dared to testify to the value of roinedies whose composition is not de uiled in .the British Parma I copoeia The wrath is exp.essed as follows :— We see witli regret Lord Uns'ow shamelessly puftiing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter —as scandalous an atmse of political position andasdiscreditab'e a folly a3 has been for a long time under notice." t oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its esi.-tt-uce, no doubt, to the fact ihut Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actualU had the courage to sny so in print. Why the British Medical Journal should deem such testimony :x high offence, and, judging by the strength of :he language it n;-es, an almost criminal di?demeanonr, I totally fail tc st c, 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 has been bitterly attacked as '• as qnackory " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every foi'tnula not hal-marked by the "Lancet " and "British Medical Journal " as a dangerous inova(ion. Personally, while not having the ['lea Mire of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Auberfc or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies de* uonnced 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 " 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' msed" podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otheiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Remedies "—•' quack and secret " though they be — are reported to be selling like the proverbial ' hot cakes," neither Mother i Aubert nor M? Kempthorne is likely to trouble about, the wrath of the " British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow, he is at Home, and con fight his own battle. —•' Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail." Wairabapa Stab, May 3, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for ail the ills that 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, pinyiug on :■ clear and sa übriout* . tmosph re, 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 9plftndid 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 a'tack 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 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 inct easing. Weekly Herald, April, 80, 1892. ■ A southern paper saj's:— " 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 tuwu in New Zealand. JNo small share of the credit is due to the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for she pr duction oi her unrivalled remedies " And as far ms we are personally concerned we must say that, when any cne oi i onr 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 at once.
