FWHO AND WE MEMOS.

WHAT THE JfRESS BAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOR ONOE AGREE, (New Moid Times, May I}, 18M.) Tho British Medical Journal is very angry with Lord Onslow. The particular cause of tho Journal's wrath is that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to tho value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in the British Phaimacopcoia. The wrath is expressed as follows :-"Wo see with regret, Lord Onslow shamelessly pulling quack secret remedies by an advertised letter—aa scandalous an abußo of political position and as discreditable a lolly as has been; for a long time brought under notice" Poor Lord Onslow! Tho dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to tho fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubort, 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 misdemeanour, 1 totally fail to see, saro that the average medical mind is fanatically oppssed 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 evory formula not hallmarked by tho" Lancet" and " British Medical Journal" as a dangerous innovation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with oither Mother Aubert or Mr Kemp* tliorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow m seeing tho Maori Remidie? denounced as " quack remedies." Only one of those aamn " 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" pndopliyllin 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 Kempthorno 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 Zea land Mail.'

Weekly Hebam, Aran SO, 1892, A southern papor says:—" What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid iever has boon driven from the city of Wellington, and the placo is now as healthy as any town in New Zealand, No small share of the credit is due to the Rev Mother Mary Joseph Aubort for the production of her unrivalled remedies,' 1 And as far as we aro personally concerned we must aay that, when any one of our staff is affected, no matter from what cause, even from alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marupa, when restoration to a normal condition takes place atonce, Reeftox Goardian, April 14,1892. We would ask our readora to give their attention to the change in 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 tho excellent testimonials received, including one from Bishop Grimes, as to their curative properties, and which are published, should be an ample guarantoe of their efficacy, Tho public should carefully peruse the advertisement.
