'MA¥o7ND^EliiEDm^ TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY, THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. ' New Zealand Times,' May 14th, 1892. qPHE 'British Medical Journal'is L very angry with Lord Onslow. The particular cause of the journnTs wrath is that our late Governor has .absolutely dared to testify to the value of remedies whose composition is not detailed iv the British Pharmacopeia, The wrath is expressed as follows :—' We see witli 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 ! The dyspeptic diatribe above quoted owes its existence, no doubt, to, the fact that Lord Onslow liavinpr found virtae in some of the Maori herbil 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 auy medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised red-taped pources. '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 woive ; and every formula not bail marked by the 'Lancet' and « British Medical Journal ' ns a dangerous iniiovs-tii-n. Personal'y, while not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with either Mother Aubert or Mr Kerapthorne, I can sympathise with them &nA Lord Onslow in seeing the Maovi Remedies denounced as ' quack secret, remedies.' Only one of those same ' quack remedies ' do 1 know, and that ( Karana to wit,' which as a J 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 ami ' 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 tho ' British Medical Journal.' As for Lord Onslow, he is at Home and can fight Irs own battle.—' Scrutator in the New Zealand Mail.' (' Wairarapa Star,' 3rd May, 1892.) Concentrated aunshineis acknowledge <3 to b<3 Nature's great remedy for all the ills that human fiesh is heir to. In no part of the world is the remedy, in lays I ure and serene, more freely lavished than in New Zealand. The sunshine, playing on a clear salubrious atmosphere has left its impression on the fauna and flora of the colony. The extinct Bioa, the wondrous coa! deposits, proclaim tho natural wealth of old New Zealand. Tl c muscular Maori and the splendid foresis survive. From these forests Mothrr Mary Aubert has compounded seven 1 important remedies, and w<3 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 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 abcut them ; they are not foreign compounds of which people know nothing, and whlcii may 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.l the best proof of their merits is that their salt , 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 r.s any town in Now Zealand. No small share of tho credit is due to the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert for the production of her unrivalled remedies.' And as far as vw are personally concerned we must say that, when any one of our stafi is affected, no matter from what cause, even alcoholic poisoning, we pour into him a bott'o of Marupa, when restoration to R normal condition takes place at once.
