PASSING NOTES (From the Otago Witness and Daily Times with which i 3 incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1891.) Tim 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 farto prove his perspicacity. But his horizon was limited after all. Messrs Ja,'o and Adams didn't live in his time, anil ;is a consequence l'rohibition 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 tliey didn't know it (h ippy peoplo that they were) for Holloway's pills, Warner's safe cure, Mother Seigel's Syiup, and last, but not l'-ast, the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's remedies, all belong to a later age. Indeed, the Rev. Mother Aubert's remedies are a 100 tl product, and are only n> >w for the fi fit 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 Archbi.-.liop 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 t6 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 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. Aud 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 vaun'■ ■ •■ 1 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 bazar, 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 pisssing notes in the Otago W itneas, 29th Octooer, 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 knew. The proprietor of the Mother Mary Joseph Aubert Remedies was in Dunedin a few days before this great effort from the pen of "Civis" was created, and entered into a contract with tho Otago Evening Star foi advertising, and also wished to do so with the Oiago Daily Times, but the managers of the latter, evidently thinking lie 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 enterinto any engagements without previously having the permission of their head, this was asked for, and as it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upon suffering humanity, it was rmlily 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 public men, and who, as a rule, are careful that their reputation shall not suffer iby so doing, thereby f roving the value of such a testimonial.
