SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.

TO how many persons ill the vast population which inhabits this mundane sphere has it ever occurred what life is, and what a delicate organism composes the human frame ? i To make a happy home, give a cheerful disposition, and earn a pleasant night’s repose after the arduous labors i of the day, it is a matter of necessity \ that perfect health is assured, and it is only by maintaining most regular habits that this can be obtained. Now there is not one peason in ten who ever considers this momentous j question until too late it is seen that i Nature has found a weak spot, and is ( storming the human fortress with dire effects. It is then that a remedy is sought, I and Mother Mary Joseph Aubert can supply the necessary want, for after years of toil she has discovered that “Karana” will successfully combat with most of the ills of life, and restore a broken-down constitution, . The system requires a “ tonic,” and the watchword “ Karana ” should be imprinted over every portico, so that children may utter it on their first word of speech, and remember it all the days of their life, as they do the nursery rhymes of “Little Jack Horner ” and “ Old Mother Hubbard.” “Karana” is a vegetable tonic, pleasant to take, and in no way hurtful in its action. In mediaeval times the great ambition of the wise men, such as alchemists, magicians and astrologers, was to find the Philosopher’s Stone, to discover a method whereby the transmutation of metals might be effected, and chief of all to manufacture an essence or potion by which the human life could be indefinitely prolonged. This essence was called the elixir vitae or elixir of life. Many were the attempts and much scientific skill and knowledge wasted in the vain endeavor to wrest from Nature her secrets. If all this learning and all this skill had been turned to something practicable mankind might have been considerably benefitted, but, as it was, nothing of any tangible benefit accrued from the researches of these ancient scientists. Now, Mother Mary Joseph Aubert has not attempted an impossibility; she has not unduly sought to pry into the secrets of Nature ; but she has, by long and careful study, discovered that certain New Zealand herbs and plants have health-giving and curative properties of an extremely high order. By years of experience she has proved their efficiency, and these medicines are now brought forth to the public in the full conviction that no worthless quackery is being introduced, but that what is stated as to their medicinal properties is an absolute fact. These preparations have won “golden opinions from all sorts of men,” and the testimony of such prominent personages as Lord Onslow, Archbishop Redwood, Mr Bentley the actor, and hosts of others should be convincing,
