WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOit ONOE AGREE, ' (Nod Zealand Times, May 111892.) ' The British Medical Journal is vory, angry with Lord Onslow. The particular cause of the Journal's wrath ia that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to tho value of roinedtes whose composition is not detailed in the British Plmtinacopcoia. The wrath ia expressed, as follows :-"We see with rogref. Lord Obblw shamelessly puffing quack'secret remedies by an' advertised letter—as scandalous an abuße of political'position and as discreditable a folly n has been for along time brought under notice." Poor Lord Onslow I The dyspeptic dia-.j tribe' above 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 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, savo that the' average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which doos not proceed from recognised red-taped sources, 'Twas everthus with the medicos, Al< most 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 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 Kempthorne, I oan sympathise with them and Lord Onalow in seeing tho Maori Remi« dies denounced as "quack remedies," Only one of those same " quack remedies" do I know, and that -'Karana" to wit, which as a " roal 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 oommonand domestic And "recognised" podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otherwiso he .would nevor have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As however, the " Maori Remedies " •'quack and secret "though they be—are reported to be selling like tho proverbial "hot cakes," neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kompthorne is likely to worry about tho wrath of the' British Medical Journal." Ab for Lord Onslow he is at Homo, and can fight his own battle.—" Sorutator," in the' New Zealand Mail,'
Weekly Herald, Amu 30,1892, A southern paper says;—" What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata and cold weather, typhoid tover has been driven from tho 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 Kev Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivalled romedies," And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our staff is afl'eced, no matter from what oauae, oven om alcoholic poisoning, wo pour into m a bottle of Marupa, when restoration n i a normal condition takes place atonce.
