Fasting Fates and Old Medical Fastings Chronicle
A long, detailed account compares fifty day fasts and earlier famed abstinences. It recalls Dr Currie’s Yorkshire patient who starved to death while throat obstruction worsened, noting weight loss, delirium, and final death. Also recounts a second case of sixty-one day abstinence and a melancholy young man who wrote the Bible in shorthand while fasting.

A Liberal Member Seeks Pay and Jamboree Lesson
A Persimmon County legislator complains of privilege in a chaotic speech. He laments not having clothes for town, requests six dollars for yesterday's service, and promises to cover costs with a five dollar suit found nearby. He jokes about frugality while touting economy and notes his two year old heifer for sale, then digresses into a survey of old proverbs and phrases.

An anecdote about the Viennese artist Amerling recounts his encounter with a witty girl who scorned his painting offer. He jokes he would paint her fate on her visage, she declines, then marries him months later and later departs, with he lamenting she never valued his art.

Remarkable town tale touts Electric Diters revival
Rentws Hor Youth and Mrs. Phebe Chesley recount a local claim that Electric Diters renewed youth, removing pain after years of illness. A resident says the remedy freed them from disability and enabled renewed work ability. George C. Hannan's drug store sells the product. The rest of the text includes stray notes about a Spanish king and a grumbler, with no clear relevance.

Florida Paradise and the Fountain of Youth Rumor
A fragment recounts Florida as a haven for invalids seeking health in warm climes and flowers. It credits Dr. Pierce's Medical Discovery as a relief for chronic throat bronchial and lung diseases, urging consumption patients to seek distant cures. A stray line references love as a blossom and a rejected contribution.
