An assortment of older patent medicine and dye advertisements tout Diamond Dye for fabrics claiming full color and easy use. Also promoted are Polson’s Nerviline Nervillae for neuralgia and Parmeloas Vegetable Pills for digestive and systemic relief. Dr Thomas’ Eclectic Oil is pitched as life elongating and cures for rheumatism.
A garbled early 20th century advertisement touts Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney and bladder disorders and related backache and nervous symptoms. It claims effects on urinary concerns and lists various ailments while urging trust in the remedy and physicians' endorsements.
A scrambled page fragment details upheaval in Newfoundland with mention of Catarrhzone as a claimed remedy. It references societal unrest and revolutionary themes while promoting a cough and cold cure priced at $1.00 via Deigeluts or Polwon & Co. with attribution to Kiyaton.

A noisy 19th or early 20th century advertisement touts Dr. Kellogg’s Dysentery Cordial and Tarxa-Liver pills as universal remedies for coughs, constipation, headaches, dysentery, and cholera risks.
