An amendment recalls Jennie a bright 12 year old, once disobedient and sent to bed at seven. A boy outside asks to speak, but Jennie’s mother explains she has gone to bed. A voice replies the child is being punished, hoping to deter early bedtimes. Also an ad for Van’s Ink and Rust Remover promotes the product and Oakland address.

A letter from Town City La dated July 16 1103 and Sept 16 1960 describes eczema relief after using Cuticura Remedies for a wife’s facial eczema and a baby’s hair growth. The note cites dramatic improvements and praises Cuticura Soap and Ointment for drying heat quicker than other treatments.
A garbled column riffs on commerce and social notes with odd spellings and moralized jests. It mentions N W Hide Fur Co and Minnespotts and Atchison Globe Sights, then pivots to playful social commentary about men and women, appearances, and domestic life with clipped observations.
TESTED BY TIME and care, Mrs. Mary Crumulish of Wilmington reports relief from back pain, headaches, and swelling after taking Dow’s Kidney Pills.

A historical plea cites a home remedy from the Washington Star claiming half an ounce dandelion extract, an ounce compounded kargon, three ounces of compound syrup satsipil vila, to be shaken and taken in ten spoonful doses after meals plus water. It promises relief and possible cure by cleansing kidneys and removing poisons from the blood, while noting widespread rheumatism and urging readers to try the mixture despite lack of scientific backing. The piece ends with a quotation exchange about political economy and understanding for the poor.
Ambiguous patent medicine pitches mix with odd humor as a Toledo firm touts Hall’s Catarrh Cure and a Valedo wholesale druggist endorses the remedy. Jocular anecdotes from Yale football talk, a mountain inn beer anecdote, and a quip about heaven vs. money appear amid a miscellany of sensational newspaper filler.
The Mayer Boot and Shoe Company, with a Seattle coast branch, is one of the nation’s largest shoe concerns.

A lively tale from Groree Filbhard in the September Metropollimn Magazine recounts a famed betting race between twenty turkeys and twenty geese arranged by the Prince of Wales and Lord Hanger. Ten miles, £600, and notorious odds framed a comic clash where geese triumphed after turkeys roosted in trees, leaving the geese to finish first. The humorous vignette sits beside a French anecdote about Napoleon era honors and a one-armed veteran.
