The Monthly Magazine quotes Dr. Graham warning against warming a room after a cold or overusing bed clothes and hot tea as it heightens fever and prolongs the cold.

He also compares frostbite treatment to warming, urging careful rewarming to prevent frequent colds.
The New York Sun argues the 1880 reversal of a long rule suggests Democrats should seize the moment in 1884.

It stresses gradual skill development for children from spoon to fork to knife and emphasizes courteous, restrained conduct at table.
A weather table by Dr. Herchell links moon phase changes to upcoming conditions, noting rainy or snowy outcomes by hour and season.
