New Remedies and Oddities Highlight Chicago Notices
A collage of curiosities and ads from Chicago includes a claim of a $2,504 pauper burial contract, a new Smallpox remedy from Carracenis plant, and diverse items from Mormon recantations to talking machines in Germany. Local businesses promote tonics, patent medicines, horse care powders, hardware, furniture, clothing, and groceries, while editorials reflect on divine law, moral qualities, and the Atlantic Cable’s early power.
