PARAMO AND THE MEDICOS.
WH/.T Tflfe fIJESS DAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOK ONCE AGREE, ! (New Zahni Times, Mmj H,i892.) Tho 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. Tho wrath is expressed as follows;—''We see with regret Lord Onßlow-shanielessly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter-as scandalous an abuse of political position ■ and as discreditable a folly as has been for a long time brought under notice" Poor Lord Onslow I Tho dyspeptic dia- ( tribe abjvo quoted owes its existence, ' no doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, having Mud virtue in Bomo of tho Maori h'-rlml romodißS prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had tho courage to say 8" in print. Why tho British Medical Journal should deem such testimony a high offence, and, judging by the strength of the language it uses, an j almost criminal misdemeanour, 1 totally ~ fail \o see, savo that tho average v medical mind is fanatically opposed to a any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red-taped sources. 6 'Twas ever thus with the medicos, Al- " most every new advance made in medical science has been bittorly attacked as " quackery" when it appeared, every , new thinkor denounced as a madman or noise, and evory formula not hallmarked by the" Lancet" and " British g Medical Journal" as a dangerous inno- 0 vation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mothor Aubert or Mr Kemp- 4 thorne, I can sympathise with them and s Lord Oubloiv in seeing the Maori Remi- 1 diei denounced as "quack remedies." * Only one of those same " quack remedies " du I know, and that -'Karaua" j to wit, which as a " real good thing" , for a man with a liver, I wuuld cordially a recommend to the editor of the B.M.J, a He appears to need it sadly, for the b common aud domestic and "recognised" i podophyllin has evidently- been of no ti service to him, otherwiso ho would nevor have penned so spiteful a paragraph. 'As however, the " Maori Romedies"— S •' quack and secret" though they be— °. are reported to be selling like the proverbial '■'hot'cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kompthorno is likely to worry about the wrath of the ' British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow |, ho is at Hm, and cm fight his own & battle.—" Scrutator," in the ' New Zea fi land Mail,' h Wbeklv Herald, Arair, iJO, 1892, d A southern paper aiyu:—" What with '' Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cl cold weather, typhoid lever has been a driven from the city of Wellington, and the placo is now as healthy as any town in New Z-. 'and. No Bmail share of the „ credit is die to the Rev Mothor Mary c Joseph Aubeit for the production of her h unrivalled remedies." And as far as wo are personally concerned we must say n that, when any one of our staff is aflec- h ted, no matter from what cause, oven " from alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of-Marupa, when restoration ° to a normal condition takes place atones, Reefton Goarman, April 14,1892. We would ask our readers to give their £ attention to the change in the advertise- 0 ment of Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's l Medicines, which will bo found on our fourth page to-day, Theso Medicines p are fast gaining in public esteem, and h tho excellent testimonials recoived, in- ' eluding one from Bishop Grimes, as to thoir curative properties, and which are , published-, should be an ample guarantee " of their efficacy. The public should care- . fully peruse the advertisement, Auckland Stab, May l ?, 1892, MOTHER AUBERT'S REMEDIES, In theso days of patent modicinos it requires that certificates of oxiellonco should be signed by the names of persons of Btanding in the community. The herbal remedies put up by the Key. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, of Jerusalem, Wanganui Rivor, have already been highly spoken of, and alsowhere will be seon 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 to the stage, Mr Walter Bontloy. The latter acknowledges the wonderful result to his voice from using " Marupa." Another preparation designated "Karana " is said to be quite equal to combating most of the ilia of life, aud reBtorcs 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 Keinpthorno Prosser & 00.
