! WHAT THE i'RESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOlt ONCE AGIUSE. (New Z-.alovtl Timet, May 14,1802.) Thu Britiih Medical Journal is v«ry angry with Lord Onslow. Tlio particular cauai' of the Journal's wrath ia tliit our I'itrt Governor has nhonlutoly dared to tcatify to thn value of remedies whose couinofiitioti i» not detailed in the British Pbiiu [nin:(i]ji:oiii. Tho wruth is ex pruned us follows :—"Wo bco with resrrur. Lord Onslow shamelessly puffing quaek BOCrot remedies by an advertised lettor—Ob scandalous an abuse of political position und ua discreditable a toll} 1 us has boon for a. 1< ng tirati brought under notice." Poor Lord (Jnaluw 1 Tho dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to tho fact that Lord Onslow. having found virtim in soma of tho Maori herbal rumcilijs prepared by Mother Auliurt, actually had thecuuragw to say so in print. Why tho British MadicalJuurii.nl should duciu such tnstitnony » offunco, and, judging by tho strength of tno latiguugu ut uses, an almost criininal niisdtiuionnour, 1 totally fail to oco, sivvo that the average medical mind is fanatically tippssed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red-taped sources.

The public should carefully peruse the adtortiscment.
