Disinfectants and Methods for Sanitary Use In Homes

The article lists reliable disinfectants and methods for household use. It recommends alkaline permanganates for washing clothing, carbonic acid and coal tar compounds for filthy areas, common coal tar as a paint for cellars, sulphate of iron for privies and drains, three pounds per gallon of water where cholera occurred, chloride of lime for rapid but less permanent action, and Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid for water closets. Readers may choose from these options for immediate or preventive disinfection.

The Cross Signature and a Rebel Letter

A discussion on the sign of the cross as a historic verbatim signature shows its varied use by literate and illiterate alike and its oath-like meaning. The article also reprints Wade Hampton’s sharp letter to a Senator complaining over South Carolina’s lack of representation in Congress, and notes the Connecticut caucus nomination of Gen. Terry for the Senate.
