A garbled fragment mixes personal health reminiscences with stray business notices and promotional lines. It includes a testimonial about Dr McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm and an advertisement for Candy Cathartic laxatives, interspersed with partial railroad and local matter references.
The piece suggests furnishing small rooms with dainty Chippendale or empire pieces rather than heavy styles. It advises avoiding large sofas and filling corners with fitted lounges and shelves. Consider removing dividing decor to merge rooms and use rich curtains to create straight drapery lines.
The article discusses balanced horse rations using Wolff standards, listing daily feed amounts for various feeds and conditions to balance diets when options are limited. It also notes the importance of breeding cattle with well developed loins and hips for market value, citing Shorthorn sales in Philadelphia.
The article offers old style remedies such as powdered charcoal on teeth, tincture of wyrra for enamel, cold baths and vigorous rubbing for freshness, and eating onions for vigor. It also provides a short recipe for frying apples, advising to slice without peeling, fry in hot batter or lard until light brown, then drain and sugar.
A fragment discusses a home hair dressing recipe using alcohol castor oil and scent. It then switches to a note quoting GW Kosner on beet prices and cattle trends, predicting beef prices and cattle market effects for years ahead, with complex phrasing and probable OCR errors.
An advertisement promotes Dr Kilmer Swamp Root as a remedy for kidney trouble. It lists symptoms such as back ache sleeplessness and urinary changes and claims the product cleanses uric acid and improves blood and heart function. A free sample bottle and book are offered by mail from Kilmer & Co. Binghamton NY, with a note to mention reading the Covington Republican.
