Parson Exterminator and Curious Notices From Old Columns
A collage of short items and ads recounts quirky 19th century scenes including a baby’s question on God and bowels, a mother correcting a child, a pest killer boast, a bet on the meanest dog, a Ruth lesson gag, a hat trend bit, a teetotal minister’s health riddle, and a doctor’s punchline. Also notes a case of dyspepsia cured by Sulphur Bitters and Hop Bitters claims of medical miracles.
