Missouri Boundary Split Town Between Prohibition and License

A town straddling a state line sits split by law with one half favoring prohibition and the other a liquor license, creating a stubborn division along the main street. Witty remarks and cross-border drinking illustrate the divide as residents joke about crossing into Missouri to drink. A local man’s misfortune of not returning home prompts a wife’s quip about sending him across the border to fetch wood.

Mustangs and Patent Gas Collection Claims

A Pennsylvanian inventor Chambers Miller seeks a patent for extracting natural gas from earth in a fluid state and confining it in tanks. The text mentions various medical and patent medicine pitches, noting Ely Cream Balm for colds and Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets as preventive and curative, alongside London exhibition details of a gilded chariot.

Cleaning a Cashmere Garment and House Remedies

The text describes a cleaning method using warm water, brushing, and rubbing with flannel for thick fabrics and coats. It then shifts to advertisements for Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, Bull’s Cough Syrup, Salvation Oil, and St Jacob's Oil. Mentions a Wall Street operator and a countryman seeking catarrh remedy, copper used in brewery kettles, and common uses of various patent medicines.
