A 1868 column argues the capacity and expediency of women voting, citing Frances Willard and other voices. It contrasts wartime service, gender roles, and religious exemptions, then shifts to domestic harmony and personal growth as part of the broader women’s movement.
The article highlights women earning recognition in writing and academia, including Mae E. Orr’s world championship typing feat in Toronto, Mia MacGahan’s journalism, and Mary Lowe Dickenson’s appointment at Colorado University. It notes women’s broader ambitions and contributions across fields, from medicine to philanthropy.
The speaker extols Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets as effective and mild. He notes their painless action and absence of harsh effects, while contrasting with vivid but odd imagery about dead animals and kerosene. The quip ends with a nudge to Hood's Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier.
An essay extols returning to nature for health using vegetable preparations from Warner's Log Cabin remedies. It contrasts indigenous healing with modern drugs, praising logs cabin cures like sarsaparilla, hops and buchu, liver pills, rose cream, and hair tonic as simple, time tested, safer options.
