DEPARTMENT. Established 187U, EVERY POLICY GUARANTEED BY THE STATE LOW PREMIUMS and LARGE BONUSE& The aim of this Dopartmeut has been to provide Life Insurance at the minimum cost compatible with safety. It does not charge its policy-holders unnecessarily large premiums j in order to enable it subsequently to attract the ignorant by the glittor of increased bonuses. The premiums which it chargos are the lowest compatible with perfoct safety, and are less than the participating rates of any other office doing business in Australasia. In spite of this fact, at the last valuation (December, 1885) the assets of the office were found to exceed the liabilities by no 1688 8 sum than £242,000 sterling-A result due to economy of management and low mortality. PRESENT FUNDS over ONE AND A HALF MUjLION POUNDS. ANNUAL INCOME exceeds £282,000. F. W. FBANKLAND, F.1.A., I Commissioner and Govt. Actuary. PASSING NOTES (From the Otago Witness and Daily TiraßS ■with which is incorporated the Southern Mercury, Thursday October 29,1891.) Tima was whena. successful brewery poa sesßed 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 Jajo and Adams didn't live in his time, and as a consequence Prohibition is not fuily defined in his dictionary. Furthermore (and thiß 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 Hoilowaj s pills, Warner's safe cure, Mother Seigel's Syrup, and last, but not loast, the Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's remedies, all belong to a later age. Indoed, the Rev. Mother Aubert's remedies are a loctl product, and are only now for the first 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 medi- ,.;..„„ «l„u,oVi „nt T Miarifnhlv hnnn tn thft the quality of her English. 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 ho 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. 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 we may come to be delivered from the collection, the bazar, and all the pecuniary ills that ecclesiastical flesh is heir to.l Civn. N.B.—The proprietor of the Aubert Remedies is not responsible for the composition of the above, as it is an exact reproduction; The propretor of the Aubert Remedies wishes to)draw the attention of the public to two long published by ' Civia ' under passßing notes'in the Otago Witnens, 29th OctoDer, 1891. Of comse 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 know, -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 oon'.ract 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 bis '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 as it was seen that a benefit would be conferred upon suffering humanity, it was readily granted. Now, every person has a distinct right in his or her private capacity to give a testimonial if they so choose, more particularly when sickness can be averted or owed by attention being drawn to the fact by thft word* of public men, and who, as a rule, are careful that their reputation shall pot suffer by so doing, thereby proving the value of such a testimonial.--fADVT.]
