PARAMO AND THE MEDICOS WHAT THE PRESS SAYS. TYPOGRAPHICAL TESTIMONY. THE EDITORS FOR ONCE AGREE. (New Zealand Times, May 14, 1892 ) HKE British Medioal Journal is very JL angry 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 Pharmacopoeia. The wrath is expressed ns follows : —‘ We see with regret Lord Onslow shamoltssly puffing quack secret remedies by an advertised letter —as scandalous an abuse of political position and as discredit, able 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 having found virtue in some of the Maori herbal remedies prepared by Mother Aubert, aotua'ly had the courage to say so in print. Why the British Medical Journal should deem euoh testimony a high offence, and judging by the strength of the language it uses, an almost criminal miademeanour, I totally fail to see, save that the average medical mind is fanatically opposed to any medical innovation which does not proceed from recognised redtaped sources. ’Twas ever thus with the medicos. Almost every nsw 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 a 3 a ‘real 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 oommon and domestic and ‘ recognised ’ podophyllin has evidently been of no service to him, otherwise he would never have penned so spiteful a paragraph. As, how ever, the ‘ Maori Remedies’ 1 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 Onslow, he is at Home and can fight his own battle. — ‘Scrutator ’ in the New Zealand Mail, (Wairarapa Star, 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 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 fauna and flora of the Colony. The extinct moa, 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 we reoommend the announcements elsewhere to the perusal not Bimply of the sick but of those in health. ‘ A stitch in time save 3 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 Baid 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 of Nsw Zealand sunshine distilled through the vegetable kingdom. Better than all, their character has been proved for they have been well tested, and 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, aud the place is now as hoalty as any town in Mew 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 staff it affected, no matter from what cause, even
