!t_c(lical paraTvitTln oWioicMr TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THK ED [TORS FOR ONCE AGREE. ' Now Zealand Times,' May 14th, 1892. 'HUE 'Briiißh Medical Journal' is L very angry with Lord Onslow, Tlie particular cause of the journal's wrath is that onr lafo Governor has absolutely dared to testify lo the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed in the British Pharmacoraau. The wrath is expressed as follows :— * We see with regret Lord Onslow shameleasly puffing ( qn&r.k s*cref. rarnftdifts by an advertised ) titer —as an abuse of political j position and _* a folly as 1 h>.». YA*.Ti 7r a ionj.' time brought under | uotirs:. Poor Lord Onslow ! The dy?- ---| r>:pt.7 flu*r'th*. akjve quoted owes its \ *%\i:\Aucti, no doubt, to the fact that Lord | Onflow having found virtue in some of i th«i 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. 'Twas 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 ball marked by the ' Lancet' and « British Meaical Journal' as a dangerous innovation. Personal'y, 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 fecrefc remedies.' Only one of those same ' quack remedies ' do I know, and that 1 Karana to wit,' which as a ' real good thing '' for a man with a liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of the 4 B.M J. He appears to need it sadly, for the common and domestic and • recognised ' podophyllum has evidently been of no service io him, otherwise ho would never havo penned so spiteful a paragra[h. As, however, the 'Maori Remedies'—'quack and secret' though they be—are reported to be selling liko the proverbial ' hot cakes,' neither Mother Aubert nor Mr Kempthorne is 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 suu»hineis acknowledged to be Nature's great remedy for all tbe ills that human flesh is heir to. In no part of the work! is the remedy, in rays pure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshine, playing on a clear salubrious atmosphere has left its impression on the fauni and flora of tho colony. The extinct moa, the wondrous coal deposits, proclaim the uatural wealth of old New Zealaud. The muscular Maori nnd tho 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 less important matters Mother Mary Aubert's New Zealand Remedies are preventive as well as curative. When the first symptoms of sickness appear, their power in cutting short the attack by roushg dormant organs and functions to activity is said to be remarkable. Insidious ailments resemble the burglar ; but these remedies promptly applied give the alarm aud make him decamp. There is no quackery about them ; they are not foreign compounds of which people know nothing, and which mny be pernicious, but they are the pure products ot New Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than all, their character has 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 as 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 stag is affected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bottle, of Marupa, when restoration to a noruiai condition at once;
