Allan Quatermain and companions sail a flooded underground river in a canoe. A near fatal whirlpool, heat, and a flaming gas jet test their endurance as they battle giant freshwater crabs and brutal echoes in a perilous, torchlit cavern.
Fragmentary narration of a voyage with noisy water fading as echoes disperse. The speaker notes odd invocations in Alphonse's bowls and reflects on steering with a paddle while struggling with thoughts and bodily discomfort.
The notice promotes a $2.00 yearly subscription to the MESSENGER with a $3.00 medical book offered as a premium for new subscribers and delinquents who pay arrears. It describes the royal octavo volume, its heavy paper, cloth binding, gilt lettering, and claims it teaches detecting illness before treating it.
The text explains a guide helps readers tell dangerous diseases from minor ones. It urges sending a competent physician at once for serious cases and provides treatment directions for common, easily curable ailments. It emphasizes recognizing when professional care is necessary.
The directions for treatment cover various medical schools, listing separate methods for each disease. Prescriptions are by eminent practitioners in their respective modes, aiming to suit every family regardless of their chosen school of medicine.
A reviewer lauds a multi chapter work on diseases of women and the sick room as a chaste, practical, and valuable guide for mothers. The volume is described as the best in its field, with clear language and useful illustrations. The Messenger notes the book’s high merit, price, and mail-order terms including a small extra charge for home delivery.
