NEW ZEALAND TABLET. f|nHE religious orders continue to mainI tain their reputation as benefactors of society in temporal as well as in spiritual matters. A new proof of this is furnished in the remedies which have been discovered by the Sister Mary Joseph Aubert of the Order of Notre Dame des Missions. Tho good Sister, whose life has been devoted to the instruction of the Maoris, while she has laboured successfully at improving their minds and enlightening their spirits, has not teen neglectful of their bodies. The result is a discovery of a series of medicines manufactured from native trees and plants, and which have been proved undeniably to be of almost marvellous efficacy. It is to the credit of the Catholic Church in the Colony that one of Its missionary Sisters has distinguished herself in this way, probably conferring on the world a benefit, little, if anything, -inferior to that conferred, for example, by the Jesuit Fathers who discovered the curative properties of the Peruvian bark. Not only suffering humanity but science itself owes a debt to this lady, who has made it acquainted with properties of natural products, hitherto unsuspected, and has enriched the pharmacopoeia. We have, further, in the matter an instance of how religious devotion is calculated to quicken the faculties and to develop the best aualities of human nature. Sister Mary Joseph is to be warmly commended for her discoveries, and, indeed, the community generally may be congratulated on them.
