Scrofula Claim and Ebstein Diet Debate in Germany
The article discusses hereditary scrofula and its claimed link to diseases like consumption, promoting Hoop's Sarsaparilla as a remedy. It then reviews a German book by Professor Ebstein arguing fat results from lifestyle, detailing an Ebstein diet for corpulence with meals and prohibitions, while contrasting with Banting and noting bacon and fat emphasis for soldiers in 1870. Lucy Hooper reports Worth in Paris alive and active, including anecdotes of his client Queen Maria Pia and the coronation, alongside various culturally rich notes about Winnipeg and Manitoba landmarks, a curious ice vase, and local curios.

Refusal of the Newfoundland Cod Fishery

About 30 000 tons yearly is dumped by Newfoundland and North American fishermen, especially when northwest winds drive Gulf Stream to France, aiding sardine food supplies and oily substances.

Blood drinking abattoir tale shocks city readers
A Journal reporter witnessed at a West Fifty ninth Street abattoir as workers and customers, including women and men in coaches, consumed blood from bullock carcasses. Descriptions note cups of blood offered to patrons, many labeled as consumptives or rheumatics seeking relief. Foremen claim regular daily visits by the blood hungry, with some wealthy patrons using the service, and children and workers handling vessels. The piece blends sensational detail with a survey of beliefs and practices surrounding this so called blood medicine.
