An Egyptian Custom and Mortality Reminder
A historic note recalls ancient Egyptians feasting with a skeletal figure at the table to remind all that death comes unannounced. The piece links this to living prepared to die and promotes Peruna as a universal remedy. It also includes advertisements for arnica salve, a stomach tonic, and a vitalizer with prices and local sellers.
