Amateur publishers and a spook of Milton in ink
A rambling, era style reminiscence traces a fledgling author’s hopes of finding a willing publisher. The narrator riffs on publishers, Milton, and old literary rivalries, interspersed with a New York Stock Exchange scene and a tale of a clever street performer among brokers. A brief medical note then praises Swift's Specific as a cure for malaria poisoning.

Treatment of Cancer and Lottery Drawings Spotlight
A patient credits Swift's Specific with curing a long standing neck cancer and regained use of both arms after twenty years of illness. The passage then shifts to a Grand Monthly Drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery with results announced from September and November entries, plus ads for Dr Hosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup and a notice about runaway shoplifters at the Dare gala Store.
