Medical TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. ' New Zenland Times,' May Hth. 1892. 'I'HE « British Medical Journal' is f very angry with Lord < >nslow. The particular cause ofthe journal's wrnth is that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in the British Pharmacol reia. The wrath is px pressed as follows :— ! We see with regret Lord ()nslow shamelessly puffing qniick secret remedies by an advertised letter—as scandalous an nbuse of political position and ns discreditable a folly as bus been for a long time brought under notice' Poor Lord Onslow ! The dyspeptic diatribe 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 say so in print. Why the ' British Medical Journal' should deem such testimony a hiah offence, and, judging by the strength of the language it uses, an almost criminal misdemeanour, 1 totally fail to see, save that the average medical mind is fanatically opposed 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 nn>diciil science has been bitterly attacked as ' qnackery ' when it appeared ; every new thinker denounced as a madman or wor.*e ; and every formula not hall miirked by the ' Lancet' and ' British Mcuicul Journal ' as a dangerous innovation. Personally, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance, with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori Remedies denounced »s ' quack secret remedies.' Only one of those same ' quack remedies ' do I know, and that ' Koran • to wit,' which as a ' r-al 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 ' podophyllum 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 Kempthorneis 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 Zealand Mail.' (' Wairarapa Star,' 3rd May, 1892.) Concentrated sunshine is acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for all the ills that human flesh is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshine, playing on a. clear ealubrious atmosphere bag left its impression on the fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct nioa, the wondrous coal deposits, proclaim the natural wealth of old New Zealand. The muscular Maori .-md the splendid forests survive. From these forests Mother Mary Aubert has compounded several important remedies, and we recommend the announcements elsewhere to the perusal not simply of the sick but of those in health. • A stitch in time eaves, nine,' applies to healing art more than to loss important matters Mother Mary Aubert'e New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well as curative. When the first symptoms of 6ickuess appear, their power in cutting short the attack by rousi'tg dormant organs and functions to activity is said to he remarkable. Insidious ailments resemble the burglar; but these remedies promptly applied give the alarm and make him decamp. There is no quackery about them ; they are not foreign compouuds of which people know nothing, and which may be pernicious, but they are the pure products or New Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than all, their character has been proved, for they have been well tested, anl the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly increasing. (' Weekly Herald, , April 80,1892.) A southern paper says :—• What with Marupa, Karana, Paramo, Natanata, and cold weather, typhoid fever has been driven from the City of Wellington, and the place is now as healthy ag.imy town in New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Hey. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivalled remedies. . And as far as we are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our stafi is affected, no matter from what cause, evsn alcoholii , poisoniug, we pour into him a bottle of Murupa, when restoration to a normal condition takes place at once.
