PASSING NOTES. (From the Otago Witness and Daily Timss, with which is incorporated the Southern" Mercury, Thursday October 29,1891.) Time was whena successful brewery possessed the potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice—teste Dr Johnson — and the rise of the Beeragc, as impinging on the Peerage, goes fnrto prove his perspicacity. But his horizon was limited aftsr all. Messrs and Adams didn't live in hia time, and as a consequence Prohibition is not fuily defined hi his dictionary. Furthermore (and this is *liat 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 l"»st, the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's remedies, all belong to a later age. Indeed, the Rev. Mother Aubert's remedies are a local produet, and are only now for the fi 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 eharitably 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 oredit of Archbishop Redwood, then, and the profit of his church, that he has bee« the first to avail himself of this pregnaut 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 stomach, 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 foi ■ by the pastor of the church in whose interest 1 the medicament is vended. Who knows buj that in this way we may come to be delivered from ,the collection, the bazar, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is hcii to! Cms. *N.B.—The proprietor of the Aubert Reine dies is not responsible for the composition o: the above, as it is an exact reproduction: The proprietor of the Aubert Remedie wishes to draw the attention of the public ta two long extracts published by 'Civis-'undo passsing notes in the Otago Witneos, 29tl OctoDer, IS9I. Of couise every one with judgment will dis cern that there is a reason for an effusion o this kind, and it is probably as well that th< public should knew. Tho proprietor of the Mother Mary Joscpl Aubert Remedies was in Dunedin a few day before this great effort from the pen o I "Civis" whs created, and. entered into i contract with the Otago Evening Star fo advertising, and also wished to do so with th Otngo Daily Times, but the managers of th latter, evidently thinking he knew nothin; about advertising and how it could be done asked him a prohibitive price, and in conse quence his 'ads' have not appeared in tha paper. Now as to the facts connected with thesi remedies, because it if as well that they shouli be known: His Grace the Archbishop hai nothing whatever to do with the starting o their sale, but as it is against the rules of th Church to enter into any engagements withou previously having the permission of their head this was asked for, and as it was seen that benefit would be conferred upin suffcrin humanity, it was rt-pdily granted. Now every person has a distinct rght in his or he private capacity to give a testimonial if the; so choose, more particularly when sickness ca bo averted or cured by attention being draw; to the fact by the words of public men, an who, as a rule, are careful that their rcputa tlon shall not suffer by so doing, thereb; proving the value of such a testimonial.[Advt!] NEW BY-LAW decided by the M.G.C.:Tliat Scorers, Umpires, and Players should have their Watches repaired b; T.
