PABAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGBAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The British Medical Journal is very angry Avith Lord • mslow. The particular cause of the Joum-il's wrath is that our late Governor has ..bsolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in the British Parmacopoeia The wrath is exp essed as follows :— We see with regret Lord unslow shamelessly puftiing quack secret remedies by »n advertised letter -as scandalous an abuse of political position andasdiscreditab'e a folly a3 has been for a long time under nofcicei" I'oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its exis-teuce, no doubt, to the fact that lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the courage to say -o in print. Why the Britieb Medical Journal should deem such testimony v high offence, and, judging by the strength of ihe language it use?, an almost criminal disdemeanour, I totally fail tc 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 attacked as '• as quack ory " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not ha'l-markod by the ''Lancet " and " British- Medical Journal " as a dangerous inovation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Xempthorne, I can sympathise with them 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 " 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 " podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otherwise 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 Aubert nor Mr Kempthoriie 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. - l< Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail." Wajrarapa Star, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine ia aoknowledged to he Nature's great remedy lor ail the ills that human flesh is heir to. In no parti of the w«>rld is the remedy, iv rayfl pure and serene, more frpoly lavished than in New Zealand. 'I he sunshine, playing on a clear and sa'ubrious ■• tmosph're, has left its impression on tun fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct mca, the wondrons coal deposits, proclaim the natural wealth of old New Zealand. The muscular Maori and the splendid forosis 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 healiug art more than to less important matters. Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well a< curative. When the first symptoms of sickness appear their power, in cutting short the a 1 tack by rousing dormant organs and functions to activity, is said to be remarkable. Insidious ailments resemble the butglar, 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 Zea'and sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than al, their character has been proved, fi<r they have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly inc> easing. Weekly Herald, April, 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 town m New Zealand. iS'o 6mall share of the credit is due to the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for ihe pr duction of her unrivaikd remedies M " And as far sis we are personally concerned we must say that, when any cne 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 con* I dition takes place at once.
