A fragment from a period piece mocks political figures and press rhetoric. The text parodies abolitionist and party lines with grotesque imagery, invoking Greeley, Adams, Blair, and Sumner while lampooning Copperhead sympathies and wartime allegiances. The verse layers theatrical invective with references to notable names and events through a distorted chant.
A collection of disparate statistics and notices from popular press: debt totals in Louisiana exceed the legal limit, U S census dwelling figures, New Orleans loan in London market, a hard case of lacking life insurance, Strasbourg siege losses, Bass Co shipping beer, New Jersey peach surges, German parchment use for sausage skins, life insurance commissions, Paris personal crisis reports, Harlem River bridge plans, testimony on Asiatic cholera, Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders promotion, and notices of female schools in the city.
A scanned piece extols the trial and error nature of professional medical practice, praising Dr Walker of California and his INEGAR BITTERA as a cure for blood diseases. It also touts various tonics, liniments, and periodicals, including Elmwood collars, Dooley's Yeast Powder, Burnett's Cocoaine, and the Phrenological Journal, with subscription details and brief notices on other medical and lifestyle items.
Fragmented ad style clipping touts Lyon's Katate on for hair, Cristavono's ExcxLeion Hamm Dye, Fraga's instant Rexist, Sanford's Invigorator and other patent remedies. Claims include hair growth, scalp nourishment, relief from rheumatic pains and bowel complaints, with cautions about imitations and urging readers to ask their druggist.
