PARAMO 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 va7 angry with Lord > 'nslovv. The particular ca'ise of the Journal's wrath is that our kte Governor has absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not de ailed in the British Parmacopoeia. 'ihe wrath is exp essed as follows : — We see with regret Lord i' onslow shamelessly pu;h ing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter -as scandalous an ahuse' of i political position and as discreditab c a foily a3 has been for a lon<? time under notice." I'oor Lord Onslow ! j The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact that 1 ord 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 British Medical Journal should deem such testimony v high offence, and, judging by the strength of ihe language it use^s, an almost criminal difdemeanour, 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 haa been bitterly attacked as '• as quackory " when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or worse, and every formula not hall-marked by the ''Lancet " and " British Medical Journal " as a dangerous inova* tion. Personally, while not having the plea-ure of a personal acqunintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I cao 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 "Karana" to wit. which, as a "real good thing " tor a man with a liver, I would cordially re'-ornmend 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, otheiwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, however, the "Maori Remedies "—••• 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 " British Medical Journal." As for Lord < 'nslow, he is at Horn«, and con fight his own battle.— '* Scrutai tor," in the " New Zealand Mail." Wairarapa Star, May 8, 1892. Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for all 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 NewZealand. The sunshine, playing on a clear and sa übrious atmosphere, has left its impression on the fauna and flora ofthecolony. Theextinct moa, the woniirons coal deposits, proclaim the natural wealth of old New Zealand. The muscular Maori and the splendid foresis 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, l mt they are the pure products of Now Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better tiian al, their character has beon proved, for they have been well tested, and the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly mc easing. Weekly Hebauj, April, 30, 1892. A southern paper says : — <l What with Marnpa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid fever hiis been driven from the city of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy as any t .wu in New Zealand. In o small share of the credit is due to the Key. Mnther Wary Joseph Aubert for he pr duct ion of her unrivalled remedies "' And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our staff is aiflected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marnpa when restoration to a normrl condition takw place at once.
