Early Northwest Voyages Through the Northwest Passage
A summary of early efforts to find the Northwest Passage highlights Cabot's 1497 discoveries and a succession of national expeditions. Frobisher's 1576-78 efforts set a national tone, followed by Davis in the Davis Strait voyages of 1585-88, and Hudson in 1612. William Baffin’s 1616 voyage reached 77 degrees 45 minutes north and identified Jones, Smith, and Lancaster sounds as gateways toward the elusive sea route.

Home Made Catarrh Cure Promised By Simple Mix
A claimed home remedy titled Cyclone is described as a quick catarrh cure. The recipe lists half-ounce Muid Extract Dandelox, one ounce Compound Karyon, and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, to be taken after meals and at night. The text touts kidney-eliminating action and cites a national expert, then shifts to a narrative about a gown purchase and a casual remark about removing a yoke from a dress.
