An early 20th century advertorial urges readers to embrace Paine's Celery Compound as a cure for kidney and liver ailments, rheumatism and dyspepsia as spring renews health. It claims dramatic blood and organ toning benefits and warns against weaker remedies. The piece appeals to families seeking vitality.
An old column touts Dr J D Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial for cramps and cholera-like symptoms during hot weather and green fruit season. It claims the remedy quickly eases bowels disturbances. Also mentions Milbara's Rheumatic Pills and a humorous tale about an Archbishop's forgetfulness at a Dublin dinner.
Advertises Dr Wood's Norway Pine Syrup as a popular remedy for children's coughs and croup. Claims the syrup is pleasant to take and more effective than other remedies in curing throat and chest ailments. Warns of risks from neglecting coughs and exposure to cold.
The text explains origins of foods and terms including Hominy, blanc mangé, Charlotte, charlotte russe, and macaroni. It links parched corn to an Anishinaabe or Narragansett borrowing, notes misnomers from French and English roots, and relates macaroni to a Greek phrase referencing blessed dead used in ancient feasts.
