Stomach Remedy Prescription Ad From Historic Text
A vintage advertisement promotes a stomach remedy: Compound Tincture of Cutchona Prosene Compound Shetty Wine with instructions to mix in water and take before meals and at night. It claims to supply gastric juices and aid digestion and urges readers to obtain the prescription at their local drug store.
Waves and water movement in storms described
The text explains wave motion versus apparent travel, noting waves can reach forty feet in storms with crests moving about fifty miles per hour. It states a wave’s base is about fifteen times its height, so a twenty five foot wave would have a base of 875 feet, and assigns a breaking force of seventeen tons per square inch on shore.
