A humorous miscellany of jokes and caps from an era column.

A dubious advertisement promotes making a cough and flu remedy at home using HEENZO with water and sweetening to create a supply claimed to equal eight bottles of medicine for coughs colds and broncho conditions. It asserts high value and low cost with a price claim of 2 shillings for HEENZO and 1 shilling per tin for HEENZO COUGH DLAWONDS.
A humorous montage of inept dialogue and wordplay features several characters from a domestic scene and a theater audience. Quotations poke at misunderstandings and language mishaps with punchy one liners about heat in India, money sources, and mistaken professions. The piece blends jokes on gender, manners, and literary anecdotes for light entertainment.
A humorous tale on “crabbing” jealousy, a girl’s struggle with a relentless antagonism, and a clever escape behind a brick wall. It blends social snatches, quotes, and a final wry observation on daily annoyances and a distant engagement outcome.
