A collection of domestic guidance on plaster figures, toothache remedies, kitchen flavors, and orchard soil choices. Notes include a Wisconsin walnut grove sale at 27000, French vinegar-aging tips, pear soils, and cautions on night lights for children. Also covered are livestock feeding, straw litter, and horse stomach issues with regimens.
A Canada farmer argues that barn paint extends life and value. He claims painted barns weather better and remain more profitable, estimating a coat every five years beats weathered boards. Neglect leads to poorer appearance and lower returns over time.
A humorous yet practical examination of cut-worm damage in spring gardens. The piece explains the pest’s life cycle from late summer through winter, warns against futile slaughter, and urges early prevention by cleaning debris and plowing late in the season to curb the worms' resurgence.
A quotation from Country Gentleman extols saltpeter and refined salts for curing bacon in Yorkshire Hampshire and other places. It claims saltpeter adds color and tenderness without toughness and notes bacon cured there keeps longer and tastes superior. Jeff Davis’s book is reported to be a financial failure.
A New York City physician cites multiple international statistics from 18th to 19th century populations to argue vaccination, repeated and universal, can eradicate small pox. He urges five yearly renewals to age twenty one and strict enforcement across employment and public life to end the disease.
A member of the Figaro staff with color blindness wore a bright scarlet suit to visit his fiancée, mistaking scarlet for pearl gray. The tailor followed the order, and guests assumed the wearer was insane, blocking the engagement.
The piece notes Attorney General Benjamin H. Brewster's admired zeal for the law and hints he may follow in the footsteps of historic U S and English AGs by appearing before the Supreme Court in all major cases. It suggests such personal practice would elevate the Court and attract clients.

A vivid chromolithograph in the Adama Express Company office at 50 Broadway New York, in Mr Hall’s delivery office, shows a rustic temple scene with a pilgrim and a bottle labeled with a German remedy. The sign influence is claimed by Farward J Douglass that the image helped his recovery from ectatic rheumatism after applying Dr Jacobs Ott’s remedy as directed, with his wife aiding. The account notes the picture’s perceived healing impact on workers and drivers who see it daily.
An OCR fragment cites a professor of history and a Massachusetts reader noting seventeen dollars for domestic hire for two years. It references St Jacoba Oil for rheumatism and a Bridgeport Connecticut exchange, with dialog about a kitchen sweetheart and a muffled personal exchange. The text is incomplete and ambiguous.
A distorted collage of testimonials and claims for various medical products and household remedies.
