PASSING NOTES. (From the Otago "Witness and Daily Timss, with which is incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday Oetober 29,1891.) Time was when a successful brewery possessed the potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice—teste Dr Johnson — and the riße of the Beerage, as impinging on the Peerage, goes far to prove his perspicacity. But his horizon was limited after all. Messrs Jajo and Adams didn't lire in his time, and «8 a consequence Prohibition is not fuily defined, in hi* dictionary. Furthermore (and this is what lam steadily loading up to) he knew nothing of the potentialities of the pill and the patent medieine. 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 Hoi-1 pills, Warner's B«fe cure, Mother Seigel's Syrup, and last, but Hot l*ast, the Rev, Mother Mary Joseph Anbert's remedies, all belong t» a later age. Indeed, the Rev. Mother Anbert's remedies are a loe»l product, and aro only now for the first time being offered to suffering humanity at per bottle, as I perceive from an advertisement eovering more thanhalf a oolumnof the newspaper*. No less a personage than Arehbiehop Redwood of Wellington f ormallv introduces her, and solemnly eertifies to the effieaey of her medicines, though not I eharitably hope, to the the quality of her English. Nowadays everybody has a liver W his oost, and as a eonsequenee the potentialities of patent medicines are practieally limitless. It is to the credit of Archbishop Redwood, then, and the profit of his church, that he has beta the first to avail himself of this pregnant faet by starting the sale of the Rev Mother Aubcrt's Remedies. Tousee, 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 Methodißt mixture, a Presbyterian plaster, and so forth, eaeh vaunted and vouched for by the pastor of the churoh in whose interest the medicament is vended. Who knows but that in this way we may come to be delivered from the collection, the bazar, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir to! Citis. 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 Oetooer, 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 Bhould know. The proprietor of the Mother Mary Joseph Aubert Remedies was in Dunedin a few days before this great effort from the j>en 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, 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 Grace the Archbishop had nothing whatever to do with the starting of their sale, but as it is against the rules of the Churoh to enter into any engagements without previously having the permission of their head, this was asked for, and aa it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upon suffering every person has a distinct right in his or her private capacity, to; give a testimonial if they so choose, more particularly when sickness ean be averted or cured by attention being drawn to the fact by the words of public men, and who, as a rule, aro eareful that their reputation shall not suffer by bo doing, thereby firoving the value of such a testimonial.
