PARAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGBAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. jSew Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The Briti>h Medical Journal is very angry with Lord > nslow. The particular ca'ise of the Joum-il's wrath is that our luce Governor has uhsolutfily dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not dei ailed in the British Parmacopoeia The wrath is ejepressed as follows : —We see with regret Lord unslow shamelessly pushing quack secret remedies by un advertised letter — as scandalous an abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly a3 has been for a long time under notice." I'oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes it* exittence, no doubt, to tlie fact that 1 ord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Hubert, actualK had the courage to say .-0 in print. Why the British Me-lical Journal should derm such testimony a high offence, and, judging by the strength of ihe language it uses, au almost criminal di-demeanonr, I totally fail tr s^e, 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 atj tacked as •■ as qnackory " when it j appeared, every new thinker del ncunced as a madman or worse, and every formula not haM-markod by the "Laucet" iind " British Medical Journal " as a dangerous Novation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acqnnihtance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies de« uounced as •' quack secret remedies." Only one of those same " quack remedies " do I know, and that 4< 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 •• recognised" podopbylliu has evidently been of no service to him, othe»wise ha would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph, As, however, the (t Maori Bemedies "—•" quack aud 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 • l Britisa Medioal Journal." As for Lord Onslow, he is at Home, and con fight his own battle,- •' Scrutator," in the " New 55<?alaud Mail." Wairababa Stau, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy lor ail the ills that human flesh is heir to. In no part of the world is the lemedy, in rays pure aud serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. 'Ihe sunshine, piaying on a clear and salubrious ; tmospnvre, has left its impression on the fauna aud 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 thege forests Mother Mary Aubert has compounded several important remedies, and wo 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 Alary Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive ns 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 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 aud which may be pernioious, but they are the pure products of Now Zealand sun- < shine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than a : l, their character has been proved, for they I have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that theii sale is rapidly inoi easing. Weekly Herald, April, 80, 1892. A southern paper says :— " What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid j fever has been driven from the city of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy as any tuwu m New Zealand. JSo snv'll share of the credit is due t.» the Eev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for ihe pr duct ion of her unrivalled remedies *' And as far as we are personally conoerned we must say that, when any cne of our staff is afilected, no matter from what cause, even^ alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marupa when restoration to a normrl condition takes place at once.
