Tiny Man Defeats Giant in Streetcar Scrape
A small man on a New York streetcar tripped a six footer, was invited to duel on the sidewalk, and left the scene smiling as the bigger man was carried away by an ambulance. The tale ends by praising Dr Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets as quick, thorough liver relief. It notes a trial for Rev James Miller at Grace Church Bloomington for heresy and advertises Dobbins Electric Soap as superior after 28 years of effort.
