A vintage advertising pitch extols Dr Price’s Pleasant Pellets as tiny sugar coated pills that gently regulate the liver stomach and bowels. The copy claims they do not gripe or shock the system and promise satisfaction or money back under the brand’s guarantee.
A business man criticizes overreliance on letters of recommendation and overstaffing in lean times while recounting Disjonval's prison spiders foretelling weather. The spider insight helped the French army time their movement, leading to a Dutch defeat and Disjonval's release. The piece blends caution on hiring with a historical anecdote tied to a December frost event and a spider as weather observer.
American photographer Arthur Green explains a method to create ghost or shadow images in photographs. Stretch a black background, place the subject in white, expose half a second for the ghost, then seat the subject in a chair and expose two seconds. Include through-ghost details with fifteen seconds prior exposure.
The piece describes an Indian method using a flexible stick and a bone needle baited with corn that catches ducks when they swallow the needle. It cites Cape Cod fishermen using cod liver bait on hooks to lure murres and gulls, then killing and processing the birds. It also notes a dog powered printing press in America, where a dog named Joe turns a large wheel to drive the press, with Maud urging him to “turn it up” as he nears retirement.
A collage of verses on change and mortality from New York Ledger, then brief clippings on plasterers avoidance of doctors via lime eye injuries, nature’s lament of Adam’s apple, sun variability evidence, strange soda water in Colorado deserts, Chilean shops by night, and curiosities from historical fairs and figures including General Kelley and Princess Christian through Dr. Julia Maitland.
