PASSING NOTES. (F.'om the Otago Witness and Daily TiraßS, with which : s incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1891.) Tims was when a successful breweiy posseated the potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of aval ice—teste Dr Johnson—and the rise of the Beerage, as impinging on the Peerage> goes farto prove his perspicacity. But his horizon was limited after all. Messrs and Adams didn't live in his time, and as a consequence Prohibition is not fully defined in his dictionary. Furthermore (and this is what lam steadily leading up to) he knew nothing of the potentialities of the pill and the patent medicine. It may be that in his day mankind possessed a liver. But the presumption is that if they did they didn't know it (happy people that they were) for Holloway's pills, Warner's safe cure, Mother Seigel's Syrup, and last, but not the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubcrt's remedies, all belong to a later age. Indeed, the Rev. Mother Aubert's remedies are a local product, ) and are only now for the first time being offered to suffering humanity at per bottle, as I perceive from an advertisement covering more than half a column of the newspapers. No less a personage than Archbishop Rfcdwood of Wellington formally introduces her, and solemnly certifies to the efficacy of her medicines, though not I charitably hope, to the tho quality of her English, Nowadays everybody has a liver to his cost, { and as a consequence the potentialities of I patent medicines art practically limitless. It is to the credit of Archbishop Redwood, then, and the profit of his churoh, that he has been the first to avail himcelf of this pregnant fact by starting the sale of the Rev Mother Aubert's Remedies, You see, Catholics have ailments as well as their heretical neighbors ; and no good Catholic, however bad his liver or his stomacii, will hesitate to patronise these Remedies, consecrated as they are by a distinct archepiscopal 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 the sale of the medicines be wide enough, Gipsy encampments may become superfluous and the Catholic vote cease to be a difficulty. That the other denominations will follow suit is only to be expected, and we may soon look for a Methodist mixture, a Presbyterian plaster, and so forth, each vaunted and vouched for by the pastor of the church in whose interest the medicament is vended. Who knows but that in this way we may come to be delivered from the collection, the bnzar, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir to! Cms. N.B.—The proprietor of the Aubert Reme(l:2B is not responsible for the composition of the above, a« it is an exact reproduction: The proprietor of the Aubert Remedies wishes to draw the attention of the public to two long extracts published by ' Civis ' under passsing notes in the Otago Witneos, 29th October, 1891. Of couise every one with judgment will discern that there is a reason for an effusion of this kind, and it is probably as well that the public should know. The proprietor of the Mother Mary Joseph Aubert Remedies was in Dunedin a few days before this great effort from the pen of " Civis" whs created, and entered into a contact with the Otago Evening Star foi advertising, and also wished to do so with the Otago Daily Times, but the managers of the latter, evidently thinking he knew nothing about advertising and how it could be done, asked him a prohibitive price, and in consequence his 'ads' have 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 Graco the Archbishop had nothing whatever to do with the starting of their sale, but as it is against the rules of the Church to enter into any engagements without previously having the permission of their head, tin's was asked for, and as it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upm suffering humanity, it was rte'dily granted. Now, every person has a distinct rght in his or her private capacity to give a testimonial if they so choose, more particularly when sickness can be averted or cured by attention being drawn to the fact by the words of public men, and who, as a rule, am careful that their reputation shall not suffer by so doing, thereby [■roving the value of such a testimonial.— Advt.] NEW BYLAW decided by the * M.C.C.:— That Scorers, Umpires, and Players -hould hive their "Watches repaired by T.
