PASSING NOTES. (From the Otngo Witness and Daily Times, with which is incorporated tho Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1891.) .>■- Timn was whena successful brewery pos« sesscd the potentialities of wealth boyond the dreams of avarice—tcsto Dr Johnson—and the rise of tho Beorage, as impinging on the Peerage, goes far to prove his perspicacity. But his horizon wbb limited after all. Messrs Ja£o and Adams didn't live in his time, and at a consequence Prohibition is not fuily defined in his dictionary. Furthermore (and this is what lam steadily leading up to) he knew nothing of the potentialities of tho pill and the patent medicine. It may bo that iu his day mankind possessed a liver. But the prosumption is that if they did they didn't know it (happy pcoplo that thoy wore) for Hoiloway's pills, Warner's safo cure, Mother Seigel's Syrup, and last, but not l»ast, the Rev. Mother Mary Josdph Aubert's remedies, all belong to a later age. Indeed, tho Ror. Mother Aubert's remedies aro a local product, and are only now for the first time being offered to suffering huminitj; at per bottle, as I perceive from an advertisement covering moro than half a column of the nowspapert.'" No less a personage than Arohbishop Redwood of 'Wellington formally introduces her, and solemnly certifies to tho efficacy of her modiciues, though not I charitably hope, to the the quality of her English. Nowadays e»orybody has a liver to, his cost, and as a consequence the potentialities of patent medicines are practioally limitless. It is to the credit of Arohbishop Redwood, then, and the profit of his church, that he has been the first to avail himself of this pregnant faot by starting the sale of the Rev Mother Aubert's Remedies. Tousee, Catholics have ailments as well as their herotical neighbors ; and no good Catholic, however bad his liver or his Remedies, consecrated as they are by a distinct archepisoopal puff. And as the net gains go to the Church the advantages are obvious. If only the diseases of the faithful be copious enough, and tho sale of the medicines be wide enough, Gipsy encampments may become superfluous and the. Cutbolic vote cease to be a difficulty. That the othir denominations will follow suit is only to bo expected, and we may soon look for a Methodist mixture, a Presbyterian plaster, and so forth, caoh vaunted and vouched for by tho pastor of tho ohuroh in whoso interest the medicament is vended. Who knows but that in this way we may come to bo delivered from the collection, the bazsr, and all the peouniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir to I Oivis. N.B.—Tho proprietor of the Aubert Romedies is not responsible for the composition. of the above, as it is an exact reproduction: The proprietor of the Aubert Remedies wishes to draw the attention of the publio to two long extracts published by 'Oivis ' under passsing notes in the Otago Witnens, 29th Ootooer, 1891. Of oouise every one with judgment will discern that there is a reason for an effusion of this kind, and it is probably as well that tho public should know. Tho proprietor of the"" Aubert Remedies was in uuncmn a lew aays beforo this great effort from the pen of " Civis" was created, and entered into a contract with the Otago Evening Star foi advertising, and also wished to do so with the , Otago Daily Times, but the managers of the latter, evidontly thinking he knew nothing about advertising and how it could be doft, asked him a prohibitive price, and in consequence his 'ads' havo not appeared in that paper. Now as to the facts connected with. these remedies, because it if as well that they should be known: His Grace the Arohbishop had nothing whatever to do with the starting of their sale, but as it is against the rules of the Ohuroh to enter into any engagements without previously having tho permission of thru-head, this was askod for, and as it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upon suffering humanity, it was readily granted. , Now, every person has a distinct r'ght in his or ber private capacity to give a testimonial if they so choose, more particularly when sickness can be averted or cured by attention being drawn to tho fact by the words of publio men, and who, as a rule, aro careful that their reputation shall not suffer by so doing, thereby proving the value of sue?- - A ~ ±l -•-' [Advt.J NEW BY-LAW decided by the M.G.C.:That Scorers, Umpires, and Flayers should have their Watches repaired by T.
