Backlow’s Arnica Malye Advertised in Local Drug Store

An advertisement touts Backlow's Arnica Malye as the best remedy for bruises, sores, burns, fever sores, skin eruptions, and piles with a 25 cent price and money-back guarantee. The item is sold by M. A. McParland's Drug Store in the city with Brownlow noted as an active local politician. The passage shifts to musings on politicians and civil service hires, highlighting Miss Josie Telford and E. S. Maloney as public servants connected to Washington and Texas, respectively, and praising Republican loyalty.

It lists testimonials from druggists praising Electric Bitters for liver, kidney, and blood cures, then attacks various post office officials and corruption claims, ending with a painterly aside about John Lawrence Sullivan and a plea for peace.
