J. C. McKerrow £ Co., LAND AND ESTATE AGENTS, WELLINGTON. . OFFIOEBCORNER OF GREY STREET AND FEWHERSTON STREET J. C. MoKERROW & Co. PARAMO AND THE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS HAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. (New Zealand Times, May lJj, 189! Tho British Medioal 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 dotailed in the British Pharmacopoeia. The wrath is expresned as follows :-"Wo bog with regret. Lord Onslow shamelessly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised lettei scandalous all abuse of political position and as discreditable a folly as has' for a long time brought under notice." Poor Lord Onslow I Tho dyspeptic diatribo above quoted oweß its existence, 110 doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of tho Maori herbal romodies 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 language it uses, an almost criminal misdomeanour, I totally fail to sec, saro that the average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised rod-taped ources. 'Twas ever thus with the medicos. Al. most every new advance made in medical science has been bitterly attacked " quackery" when it appeared, overy new thinker denounced as a mudman or worse, and every formula not hallmarked by the " Lancet" and " British Medical Journal" as a dangeroUß innovation, Personally, whilo not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kemp thorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remidies denounced as "quack remodiea." Only one of those same " quack reme' dies" 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 tho B.M.J, He appears to need it sadly, for the common and domestic and "recognised" pndophyllin 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—aro reported to be selling like tho 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.—" Sorutator," in the' New WEEKLY Heraid, APHII, SO, 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 place is now as healthy as any town in New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Rev Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivalled romedies,' 1 And as far as we aro personally concerned wo must Bay that, when any one of our staff is affected, no matter from what cause, oven from alcoholic poisoning, wo pour into him a bottle of Marupa, when restoration to a normal condition Reefton Gparmah, Aran 14,1892. We would ask our readers to sivo their attention to the change In the advertisement of Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's Medicines, which will be found on our fourth page to-day. These Medicines are fast gaining in public esteem, and the excellent testimonials received, inoluding one from Bishop Grimes, as to their curative properties, and which are publiehed, should be an ample guara of thoir eioaoy.
