A garbled reminiscence contrasts past comforts with present shortages. The Galveston News quotes longing for simpler days when boots, wool shirts, and rationed meals defined life, while noting current times as harsher. It laments lost affection and hope, warning future generations to recall those days with mixed sentiment.
An old ad styled warning about kidney and bladder disorders in men over sixty. It promotes Foley's Kidney Cure claiming it stops irregularities and has cured many elderly patients, including a 91 year old Rockport, Missouri man. It also touts DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve as relief for summer irritations.
A reflective critique notes that progressives of our era resemble mossbacks of the past, predicting future generations will view today as slow and immature, much as we view fifty years ago.
A collage of excerpts on a preserved cherry treat called chirschmus, Swiss origins, and a method using smoked pork as a weight.
