A Kansas mother touts California Fig Syrup as a pure vegetable tonic and laxative endorsed by physicians for over 50 years. The advert highlights Bonnie B achieving health and vigor, claiming the syrup keeps bowels active during colds and illness, and urges parents to ask for California Fig Syrup at druggists.
A quirky collection of lines includes why scarecrows in fields are used to scare crows and a garbled exchange about clothing women. Also promotions tout Cole’s Carboni salve promising quick burn healing with no scars, inviting purchases via druggists or mail order.
In 1875 an earnest young doctor sought a gentle laxative for constipation. His effort yielded Dr Caldwell's Syrup PEP-SIN, a ready to use preparation praised for gentle relief. It grew into the world's most popular laxative, sold by JAN drugstores in its original formula.
A humorous piece contrasts male and female humor, arguing women lack the quick wit that provokes loud laughter in men. It claims men enjoy surprise and standardized jokes, while women resist being easily tricked, preferring quieter humor and restraint.
A historical column portrays the “vampire” as a modern woman using flirtation, makeup, and warlike tactics to attract and control men. It contrasts old seduction with today’s assertive approach, arguing women seek independence and self-sufficiency while men remain wary of losing status.
Fashion writer Sula Bottomley notes that hats emphasize individual style with draped brims and bold materials. The piece highlights black and white trends, velvet draping, and the shift toward long silhouettes, puff sleeves, and shirred nets shaping both day and evening wear.
