Dr H W G Mackenzie argues open air life benefits consumptives by boosting appetite and digestion, improving sleep, reducing fevers, and lowering cold and secondary infection risks. He notes rapid tolerance to outdoor air and that even London fog patients improve with open windows and balcony rest.
A London Telegraph item notes a Florence museum vanity display of religious tattoo blocks used by Italian peasants from the Abruzzi Umbria and Adriatic regions.

Feature on desert sheep herding life describing loneliness and mental strain among shepherds with 5000 sheep, plus anecdotes of a Santa Fe man driven to madness and a college professor going insane on the range. Also includes brief items on old age, sympathy, and toothache remedies.
A street preacher in a Scottish town near 9 west of Scotland called a passing policeman to complain about an audience section. The officer joked he could not easily spot them and proposed a simple plan to deal with the trouble by going around with the hat.
