JWe«lici»l TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. ' New Zealand Times/ May 14th, L 892. HPHE ' British Medical Journal' is L very angry with Lord Onslow, Tlie particular cause of the journal's wrath is that our late Governor has absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in thp British Pharmacof asia. The wrath is expressed as follows :—' We see with regret Lord Onslow shamelessly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter—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 S 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 high 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. 'Tvvas 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 every formula not hall marked 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 can sympathise with them and Lord Onslow in seeing the Maori .Remedies.denounced as 'quack secret remedies.' Only one of those same 'quack remedies' do I know, and that ' Karana to wit, , which as a ' real good thing '" for a man with a liver, I would icordialkrecotnmend to the editor of the £? -BMjjJR* , He appears to need it sadly, "for the common , 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 Kempthorne is likely to worry about the wralb 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 Sfcnr, , 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 ray? pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The suushine, playing on a clear salubrious atmosphere has 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 nnd 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 saves nine,' applies to healing art more than to loss important matters Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well as curative. When (he first symptoms of sickness appear, their power in cutting short the attack by rousing dormant organs and functions to activity is said to be 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 compounds of which people know nothing, and which may be pernicious, but they are the pure products ot New Zealand sunshine distiilod through the vegetable kingdom. Better than all, their character hajs been proved, for they have been well tested, an 1 the best proof of their merits is that their sale is rapidly increasing. (' Weekly Herald,' April 30,1892.) 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 es any town in New Zealand. No small share of the credit is due to the Rev. 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 stall is affected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle of Marupa,'whoa restoration to a normal Condition fr'ff nlnon (>• n>^ m-
