PASSING NOTES (From the Otago Witness and Daily Timss with which is incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1591.) Timi was when a successful brewery pos gessed the potentialities of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice —teste 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 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) lie 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 (hippy 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 loc il product, and are only now for the fi:st time being offered to suffering humanity at per bottle, as I perceive from an advertisement covering moro than half a column of the newspapers. No less a personage than Archbishop Redwood of Wellington formally introduc«s her, and solemnly certifies to the efficacy of her medicine*, 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, Catholics have ailments Eiß 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 «• ! v-uched 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 bazar, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir K.B. —The proprietor of the Aubert Remedies is not responsible for the composition of the above, aa 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 1 Civis ' under p.isssing notes in the Otago A\ itnecs, 29th Octouer, 18'Jl. Of couise every one vith judgment will discern that there is a reason for an effusion of this kind, and it is probably as well that the public should knew. The proprietor of the Mother Mary Joseph Aubert Remedies was in Bunedin a few days before this great effort from the pen of- " Civis" was created, and entered into a con'ract with th- Otago Evening Star foi advertising, aud also wished to do so with the Otaijo 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' Church to enter into any engagements without' previously having the permission of their head, this was asked for, and a 8 it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upon suffering humanity, it was resdily granted. Now, every person has a distinct r.glit in his or her private capacity to give a testimonial if they • so choose, more particularly whettsibkness can be averted or cured by attention being drawn to the fact by the words of puolio men, and who, as a rule, ar i careful that their reputation shall fWt suffer, by so doing, thereby proving the value of such a testimonial. — [ADYT.]
