PASSING NOTES. (From the Otago Witness and Daily Timss, with which is incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1831.) Time was wliena successful brewery possessed the potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice—teßte Dr • Johnson—and the rise of the Beerage, as impinging on the Peerage, goes far to prove his perspicacity. But his horizon was limited after all. Messrs Jaio and Adams didn't live in his time, and as 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 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 1-ast, the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert'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 fl.st 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 Redwood of Wellington formally introduces her, and solemnly certifies to the efficacy of her medicines, though not I charitably hope, to the the quality of her English. Nowadays everybody has a liver to his cost, and as a consequence the potentialities of patent medicines are practically limitless. It is to the credit of Archbishop Redwood, then, and the profit of his church, that he has been the first to avail himself of this pregnant fact by starting the sale of the Rev Mother Aubert's Remedies. You see, CathoHcs have ailments as weH as thoir heretical neighbors ; and no good Catholic, however bad his liver or his stomach, will hesitate to patronise these Remedies, consecrated as thoy are by a distinct archeplscopal 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 wt may come to be delivered from .the collection, the bazir, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir to! Civis. N.B. —The proprietor of the Aubert Remedies 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 public to two long extracts published by 'Civis ' under passsing notes in the Otago Witness, 29th OctoDor, 1891. Of course every one with judgment will discern that there is a reason for an effusion of tiiis 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 dayß before this great effort from the pen of " Civis" was created, and entered into a contract with the Otago Fvening 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 da well that they should be known: His Grace 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, this was asked for, and ns it was seen that a benefit would be conferred up.>n Buffering humanity, it was rcedily 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 the fact by the words of puolic men, and who, as a rule, ar • careful that their reputation shall not suffer by so doing, thereby proving the value of such a testimonial.[ADVT.] NEW BY-LAW decided by the M.C.C.:That Scorers, Umpires, and Players should have their Watches repaired by T. H COLTMAN, I'IUCTJCAL Watcli an«l Chronoi.ieter MAKER, 26\ Witha Sireet, Wellington, N.Z., It w:i3 also decided that all Clubs should purchase their Trophies and Jewelleiy from the Cheapest Jeweller in town and a man who supports the game of crick ft.
