Medical TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOB ONCE AGBEE. ' New Zealand Times, , May l_th, 1392. qPHE 'Bxitisk Medical Journal , is I very aagiy with Lord Onslow. The 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 the British Pharmacopasia, The wrath ie expressed as follows :—' We see with regret Lord Ouslow 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 UDder notice. , Poor Lord Onslow 1 The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to the fact that Lord Onslow iaving 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,-.a_ almost criminal misdemeanour, I 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 madmau or worse ; and every formula not hall marked by the 'Lancet , and ' British Medical Journal' as a dangerous innovation. Personalty, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kempthorne, I can sympathise wi>th-them and Lord Onslow In seeing" the MaoiH Remedies denounced as • quack secret remedies. , Only one of those same 1 quack remedies ' do I know, and that ' Karana to wit,' -which as a 'ri-al good thing '" for a man with a liver, I would cordially recommend to the editor of the 1 8.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 ho 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 wrath of the ' British Medical Journal. , As for Lord Ouslow, he is at Hoaie and can fight his •own battle.—' Scrutator in the New Zealand Mail.' ( f Wairarapa Star, , 3rd May, 1892.) Concentrated acknowledged to ta 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, uioro freely lavished than in New Zealand. The suusshme, playing on .„ 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 and the splendid forests survive. From these forests Mother Mary Aubert has compounded several important 'remedies, and wj 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 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 aro not foreign compounds of which people know nothing, and which may be pernicious, but they are the pure products of New Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than their character has been proved, for they have been well -tested, an J the best proof of their merits is that their sale >ia rapidkv increasing. (• Weekly Herald, , April 80,1892.)
