Vaccination and Vivisection Critique by Ingersoll Ideologue
A radical critique denounces medical vaccination and vivisection as crimes against humanity. The author cites Dr. Chase cases, asserts doctors manipulate legislatures, mocks medical science, and blasts the Rhode Island law as protection for quacks. The piece rails against diploma physicians, cites Pickering’s cures, and condemns Jenner and Jesty as charlatans.

Jay Gould Letter Found In Curio Shop
A Third Avenue curio shop holds an 1854 Jay Gould letter to A. M. Sherman requesting a loan of a surveyor's level. Gould, then a modest surveyor, offered topography details of the Newburg and Syracuse railroad. The letter, later valued for its owner’s identity, shows misspellings and unusually verbose prose for his later wealth.

The London Spectator criticizes a proposed five million sterling expenditure as wasteful and vain. It likens the sum to Belshazzar’s display and questions any rational justification, arguing England could spare ten times the amount for Russia instead. The tone is forensic and admonitory, framing the proposal as ostentatious and unjustified.
