PARAMO AND THE MEDICOS.

WHAT THE I'BESS BAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOKONOEAGEEE. ' (New Zealand Times, May Is, W2.) The British Medical Journal is very I angry with Lord (.'inlaw. The particular causo of the Journal's wrath ia that our late Governor has absolutely dared to tostify to tho value of remedies whose composition is nut detailed in the British Pharmacopoeia. The wratli is expressed as follows :-"We see with regret Lord Onslow shamelessly putting quack secret remedies by an advertised letter—as scandalous an abuse uF political position and m discreditable a folly as has been for a long tirau brought under notice." Poor Lord Onslow I The dyspeptic diatribe abovo quoted owes'its oxistonce, no doubt, to tho fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in tuuio of tho Maori herbal romotlijs prepared by Mother Aubett, actually had ihccourage to say so in print. Why tlie British Medial Journal should deem snub testimony a high olleiico, and, judging by the st'ongth of tnu language it uws, an almost criminal nikleniOMinur, 1 totally fail to see, sate ttiat the average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which dues not proceed from recognised red-taped sources.

'Twns over thus with the medicos, Almost every new advance Hindi) 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 hallmarked l>jr 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 Kemptliorne, I cm sympathise with them and Lord UntLw in seeing tho Maoii itemidiei d'jii.iunced as "quack remedies." Only oii>' i>f those samn " quack remedies "do 1 know, and that ■'Karaim" to wit, iviiwh as a 'real good thing" for a man with a liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of tho B.M.J, He appears to need it sadly, for the common and dumestieand "recognised" podophyllin lias evidently been of no service to him, otherwise he would never have panned so spiteful a paragraph. As however, the " Maori Remedies"— "quackand aecret "though they be—are reported to be selling liko the prov«bial "hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kempthorno is likely to worry about tho wrath of the ' British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow he is at Home, and can fight his own battle.—" soiutntor," in tho' New Zea land Mail.'

Weekly Herald, Apbil 30,1892. A southern paper says:—" What, with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid lever has been driven from the city of Wellington, and the placa is now as healthy as any town in Kew Zealand. 'No small sharo of the credit iB due to the Rev Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of hor unrivalled romedies," And as far as wo are personally concerned we muaS say that, when any one of our staff is affected, no matter from what cause, even from alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bott'u of Marupa, when restoration to a normal condition takes place atonce.

Reefton Goabdias, Aran 14,1892. We would ask our readers to give their attention to the change m the advertisement of Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's Medicines, which will bo found on our fourth page to-day, These Medicines are fast gaining in public esteem, and the excellent testimonials received, including one from Bishop Grimes, as to their curative properties, and which are published, should be an ample guarantee of their efficacy, The public should carefully peruse the adtertisement.

Auckland Star, Max 7,1892. MOTHER AUBKRT'S REMEDIES. J n these days of patent medicines it requires that cortilicatos of excellence should be signed by the names of persons of standing in the community, The herbal ■ reraqdics put up by the Key. Mother Mary Josoph Aubett, of Jerusalem, Wanganui Rivor, have already been highly spokon of, and elsewhero will bo seen an advertisement which publishes in full the testimony of such eminent personages as Lord Onslow, Bishop Grimes, of Christchurch, Bishop Redwood, of Wellington, and, passing from the pulpit tothesUge, Mr Walter Bentley. The latter acknowledges the wonderful result to his voice from using " Marupa." Another preparation designated "Earaiia" is said to bo quite equal to combating most of the ilia of life, and restores a broken down constitution. It is a vegetable tonic, pleasant to take, and by no means hurtful in its action. These valuable medicines are now being put up by Messrs Kernpthorne Proseer & Co, MOEE TESTIMONY. Evening I'ost, 29th April, 18ft2. Tlio local industry now known as 'The Mother Mary Joseph Aubert Remedies'' is about to k introduced into the colonics, of Australia, Mr Kempthornc, who now holds the proprietary rights, (caves to-morrow tor Sydney, and intends advertising there on sven a larger scale than he has dont in New Zca : land, Ho feels warranted in doing «by the great success he has had here, As soon as tlio business in Hew South Wales is «ct properly going, Victoria will be entered upon, and each of the other colonics in succession, This will keep tho Rev, Mother very busy preparing the medicines, all of which will bo shipped away in hulk as received from her, and bottled and packed in the samo way as is dono here, We wjsh Mr Kompthornc eyciy .success, and we nroßurc his tilling 'ads,'-' The Wealth of Now Zealand, 1 and ' The Church, tho State, and the Stage -will soon becorno household words in tho Australia!, and be of great bene; fit in bringing tho medial resources of this Colony well before our neighbours,

New ZealandTisies, 30th April, 1892, Mr Orlando Kempthorne leaves hero by the Wakatlpu to-day for Sydney *lth tho intention of starting a campaign in New South Wales with the Mother Mary Josoph Aubert Remedies. He informs us that is is astonish ing what an amount of business is now done in these goods in this Colony, and as be intends to bring tho name energy to bear in the sister colony in introducing them tjierc, a largo trado is bound to spring up, Judicious advertising will always cause a demand for a good article, and, being well nwaro of this, Mr Kempthorne dur : ing the last eight months 'has been ot)0 of the largest advertisers in New Zealand, and we understand his advertisements appear in 47-papers daily. The introduotion of theso remedies has given employment to a largo number of hands, and has caused the circulation of a large amount of monoy. They should readily commend 'thomsolve's to the Australians, who will bo able to see for themselves tho largo amount of ovidenco proviig their value as antidotes to' tlie ills that flesh is heir to' 1
