Cures for catarrh and a Christmas gift offer from The Youth's Companion
An old advertisement fragment describes a catarrh cure with internal use and a reward for testimonials, listing the Proprietors Canes & Co. and a Boston mailing address. It also promotes The Youth's Companion subscription as a Christmas gift with a Puritan Girl Calendar for 1901 and free remaining issues for 1900. A separate Milwaukee Journal piece narrates a man tempted by smoking and choosing to buy a gift for his wife instead.
