Peruna ingredients and early 1900s medical claims

It discusses claimed uses for catarrh stomach and liver ailments, plus tonic and diuretic effects, then shifts to brief items on New Woman Cornes Babson at Vassar and other health tonics like Siandreth’s and Brandreth’s pills, a French poetess honor, and a cereal ad segment from Soba A. Salzer Co.

Home Made Corn Stock Cutter Described
Instructions describe building a corn stock cutter from an elf blade and crosscut saw parts. A tron piece forms the handle core with riveted joints and a string bolt eye for leverage, then sharpened to shear bundles fed by a worker.
Utilizing Corn Fodder for Stock Feeding
A reader advises maximizing corn fodder value by feeding leaves and stalks in racks rather than dumping piled fodder in the barn yard. Leaves and stalks are quickly eaten, with upper stalk portions cut for feed using a broad axe or a homemade shearing knife for larger herds.
Fragmented Advertisements and Snippets in Patchy Text

Tomatoes as a Field Crop in Warm Climates
Agricultural note advocates growing tomatoes on clay subsoil near bays and rivers with careful seed selection. Plant in mid April after long fallow, use Bordeaux spray to resist blight, apply phosphate fertilizer and compost, and maintain deep cultivation. Early plants need hotbeds, frames, warm soil, and proper spacing. Include manure, nitrates, and weed control, with prompt wound painting after pruning to prevent disease.
