PABAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892. The Briti>h Medical Journal is viry arigiy with Lord • nslow. The particular ca'ise 'of the Jiiiirn >l's wrath is that our Uto Governor has iibso'.utoly dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not de ailed in the British Parmacopoeia The wrath is exp essed as follows : —We see with regret Lord Unslow shamelessly puiiiing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter — as somdalous an al»use of political position and as disereditab c a folly as has been for a long time under notice." I'oor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic dintr.be above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact that I ovd Onslow. having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actualU had the courage to sny -o in print. Wliy the British Medical Journal should deem such testimony :i high offence, and, judging by the strength of the language it use^, an almost criminal du demeanour, I totally fail tr B^e, save that the Hverage 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 baa been bitterly at-' tacked as ♦• as quack ory " 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 acqunintance with cither Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies de* nounoed as " quack secret remedies." Only one of those same " quack remedies " do I know, and that "ICarana" 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" podophylliu has evidently been of no service to him, otheiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Remedios "—•" quack and secret " though they be — are reported to be selling like the pro* verbial " hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is likely to trouble about the wrath . of the " British Medical Journal." As for Lord dnslow, he is at Home, and con fight his own battle.— " Scrutator," in the "New Zealand Mail." Wairabapa Star, 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 remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshine, playing on a clear and sa'ubriouf* atmosphere, has left its impression on the fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct moa. the womJrons 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 healing art moro 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 promptty 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, 'mt they are the pure products of Now Zealand sun--1 shine distilled through the vegetable kingdoti. Better titan al, their character has bern proved, fur they I have been well tested, and the best I proof of their merits is that their ! sale is rapidly mc easing. Weekly Herald, Aphil, 80, 1892. A southern paper says: — "What i 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 t /wu 111 New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Rev. Mother Wary Joseph Aubert for ihe pr duct ion of her unrivalkd 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 condition t*li«B place at once,
