Bitro-Phosphate Advice and Montana Stagecoach Tales
Frederick S. Kolle, editor of New York Physicians' Who's Who, touts Bitro-Phosphate as a weight and nerve booster for weak nervous people, citing French discovery and money-back guarantee. The narrative shifts to a reminiscence of mid-19th century travel between Utah and Montana, detailing stagecoach life, guarded gold shipments, encounters with figures like Captain Slade, Miner camps at Bannack and Helena, flour riots, and a snowy winter blockade shaping life in Virginia City. The author reflects on local hardships, legislative sessions, a Lincoln assassination funeral, and plans for delivering goods via mule teams before hinting at a future from Blackfoot.
