PARAMO AND WE MEDICOS. WHAT THE PRESS HAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOU ONOE AGREE, (New Zealand Times, May H, 1892.) Tho British Medical Journal is very angry with Lord Onslow. Tho particular cause of the Journal's wrath is that our Into Governor has absolutely dared to testify to tho value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in tho British Pharmacopoeia.- The wrath is expressed as follows :-"Wo see with regret Lord Onslow shamelessly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised lettor-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 1 The dyspeptic diatribe abovo quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow, having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, actually had the courage to Bay so in print. Why tho British Medical Journal should deem such testimony a high offenco, and, judging by the strength of the language .it uses, an almost criminal misdemeanour, 1. totally fail to see, savo that tho average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red-taped

'Twaa pver thus with the medicoß, Almost every new advance made in medical acieuce has been tritely attacked as " quackery" when it appeared, every new thinker denounced as a madman or nurse, and every formula not hallmarked by 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 Kerapthorne, I can sympathise with thorn and Lord Onßlovv in mms, the Maori Reinidioa denounced as "quack remedies." Only one of those same "quackremedies " 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 domestio and "recognised" podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otherwise tie would nevor have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As however, the " Maori Remedies " •'quack and secret "though thoy be—aro reported to be selling like the proverbial "hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is likely to worry about tho wrath of the ' British Medical Journal." As for Lord Onslow he is at Homo, and can fight his own battle.—" Borutator," in the ' New Zealand Mail,'

Weekly Herald, Apbil 30,1892, A southern paper says:—" What with Mnrupa, Karnna, Fararao, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid lever has boon driven from the city of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy as any town in New Zealand. No small Bhare of the credit is due to the Rev Mother Mary Joseph Anbert for the production of her unrivalled remedies." And as far as we are personally concerned we must Bay that, when any ono of our staff is ofl'ected, no matter from what cause, even from alcoholic poisoning, wo pour into him a bottle of Marupa, when restoration to a normal condition takes place at once.
