Old-Time Substances and Modern Props in a Curious Read
A lengthy, satirical fragment blends Victorian era medicine with musings on belief and vanity. It cites a nurse-maidish verse about tickling and biting for seasonal pleasure, then shifts to a Asheville aria about Cardinal Gibbons and the Hot Springs immigration convention. The piece weaves medical quackery, religious debates, and political intrigue, ending with notes on estate escheat and a legal tussle over a Mormon heir in Charleston, plus press dispatches on flour trusts and military appointments.
