Notable Late 19th Century Public Notices and Famine Reflections
A jittery OCR fragment catalogues a 1872 county bridge petition and remonstrance notice in Vinton County, plus a digressive famine narrative from Persia describing cannibalism and starvation, and ends with miscellaneous homilies on education and a guardian notice. The readable items include a public meeting notice for July 15, 1872 and scattered quotes from Walter Scott and Horace G. about learning and virtue, concluding with a vague obituary-like listing and a second-hand ad for a widow's article.
Remarkable case of Surgery at Waterbury hospital
The Waterbury American reports Miss Hattie Thomas, badly injured when a revolving shaft stripped her scalp, survived the initial shock and underwent pioneering skin grafting. Dr Barrett, aided by Miss Thomas and friends, used sixty four pieces of seed skin from the arm and others to cover the wound. The grafts grew to seal the head, a remarkable outcome that could save her life and advance medical science.

Dan iel Webster Appleton's Grandson In Accident Ward
A pitiable scene at City Hospital shows Daniel Webster Appleton, grandson of the statesman, gravely injured in a burn and alcohol-related decline. Once a law student, he slid into dissipation, was picked up by police as a disorderly, then failed to reform after marriage, and a mixed fire incident worsened his condition. The piece notes his superficial burns, profound intoxication, and likely fatal outcome amid a life of drink and decline.
