A garbled 1900s style item touts Zam-Buk as a cure for corns eruptions rashes ringworm and similar afflictions. It mentions a magistrate and a boy in court amid dubious patent medicine claims and a general urging that readers try the remedy for various skin ailments while warning against suffering.
Charleston newspaper recalls the vanished statue of Calhoun by Powers, once shipped from Rome to New York, damaged in transit, repaired locally, and fate unknown after Civil War era. Competing theories place it in city hall, Columbia courthouse, or northern occupation, with scarce concrete evidence.
British papers warn of a patent Germany magnet capable of pulling ships from ports and wrecking gear. Berlin dispatch notes the device could seize vessels at river mouths and even drag smaller ships off course. Critics cite its motto Defense not defiance as alarming.
The London Globe reports a French consul in Mongtze upper Tonkin discovering wood in former pine forest buried by a geological cataclysm. Some trees measure a yard across, lying slanted in sandy soils to eight yards depth. Top branches preserved imply ancient convulsion. The wood is imperishable and highly valued by the Chinese for coffins.
An Eng land report exposes butter adulteration by adding water from colonial imports to meet the British standard. A New vers letter links appendicitis to habit of sharpening carving knives, noting household knife use and possible injuries before the Westminster Gazetta era.
The piece discusses the cent’s evolving designs from 1702 to later years, noting changes from Libertas busts to the chain cent and the market for rare examples. It mentions collector interest, scarcity of genuine 1700 cents, and a Salem firm’s dubious shipment to Africa where coins were worn as neck ornaments.
A Venice writer notes the Campanile of St Mark’s has risen high enough to starkly illustrate the prosaic state of aging structures. The tower, a near facsimile of the original belfry before its collapse, reflects time’s bloom and the odd green lichen that marks aging brickwork, while its successor evokes disappointment.
In Cerro de Pasco Peru the town sits high among the Andes with camps and villages at extreme elevations. The Arequipa Puno line reaches Crncero Alto at 14 205 feet, and 14 200 feet supports a real town with railway telegraphs and consuls.
Folklore on sneezing connects to luck and love between middle ages and today with claims that a sneeze before meals or on Sunday predicts romance or meetings. Notes on Darwin, the Natural History Museum, and a veteran musician, plus odd vignettes about onions, kicking horses, onion juice, a druggist joke, and ostrich feathers in a cargo telegraph a miscellany of era reflections and curiosities.
A quirky travel anecdote notes forks and the varied fingers of men, referencing a 3611 publication. The passage playfully contrasts ancient societies with modern hands, hinting at inventive dining habits and the enduring human touch.
A scattered collage of quotes and stray lines from early 20th century publications. The text mixes courtroom dialogue, advertisements, advice bits, and brief notes about daily life, with names and places obscured and many OCR artifacts. This reads as a damaged page fragment rather than a cohesive story.
A garbled note from the Boston Transcript cites a stray line about Liniment for sale and a past suggestion about a woman and a 'Working glass' remark. It mentions Toston Transcript and a question about a marriage but provides no clear details or names.
