TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. New Zealand Times, May 14,1892. The British Medical Journal is very angry with Lord Onslow. The particular cause of the Journal's wrath is that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in the British Pharmacopoeia. The wrath is expressed as follows: —" We see with regret Lord Onslow shamelessly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter—as scandalous abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly as has been for a long time brought under notice." Poor Lord Onslow! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, 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 so in print. Why the British Medical Journal should deem such testimony a high offence, and, judging by the strength of the lauguage it uses, an' almost criminal misdemeanor, I totally fail to see, save that the average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red-taped sources. ! Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every new advance made in medical science has been bitterly attacked as " quackery " 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 innovation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies denounced 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 " for 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 Kempthorne is likely to worry about the wrath of the " British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow, he is at Home, and can fight his own battle. —" Scrutator," in the " New Zealand Mail."
Auckland Star, May 7, 1892. MOTHER AUBEBT'S REMEDIES. In these days of patent medicines it requires that certificates of excellence should be signed by the names of persons of standing in the community. The herbal remedies put up by the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, of Jerusalem, Wanganui River, have already been highly spoken of, and elsewhere will be seen an advertisement which publishes in full the testimony of such eminent personages as Lord Onslow, Bishop Grimes, of Christ* church, Bishop Redwood, of Wellington, and, passing from the pulpit to the stage, Mr Walter Bentley. Tha latter ackntwledges the wonderful result to his voice from using_ " Marupa." Another preparation designated " Karana " is. & a id to be equal to combating moslj bf the ills of life; and restores a broJr' en -down constitution.
