Osmo-Chemic Physicians advertise a limited time offer giving one month of treatment and all medicines free to new or renewing patients who begin on or before October 29. The piece explains catarrh as a general term for mucous membrane inflammation affecting multiple body parts and links untreated catarrh to bronchial and other systemic issues.
The article explains that catarrh is not limited to the nasal passages but affects all mucous membranes, implying the condition can involve nearly every part of the body rather than being a simple head cold.
The America dirigible, led by Walter Wellman, drifted for 72 hours after fog and wind. Navigator J Murray Simon recalled near collision with a four masted schooner and heavy gas loss. Wellman said the voyage failed but hopes for a future crossing remain. Trent sent rescue and will reach New York tomorrow.
Atlantic City crowds swelled as word came of the rescue of the America crew. Mrs. Walter Wellman expressed sorrow over the venture and pride in the men who risked their lives, noting her husband views the expedition as a scientific experiment. She and companions then left for New York.
Professor A Lawrence Rotch of Blue Hill Observatory criticizes Wellman's transatlantic airship voyage as foolhardy saying the craft could not overcome strong winds. He doubts the craft stayed aloft beyond days and foresees the gas bag wreckage sinking. The Boston Post teases Halloween decor and a $5 reward for identifying an auto photo in next Sunday's paper.
Walter Wellman and five companions plus a kitten were rescued by the steamship Trent off the North Carolina coast after abandoning their airship America in distress. The craft, drifted about 72 hours, may have set a new record for dirigibles by distance, though the final figures await computation. They are due in New York at noon tomorrow to recount the dramatic transfer and the perilous voyage.
An advertisement touts Pape's Cold Compound as able to cure grippe or break up severe colds within hours. It says three two hour doses end symptoms from head to limbs, with no quinine and three years of research funding behind the product. A 25 cent package is claimed to end misery promptly with no after-effects.
