Wizard Owl Infectious Cold Remedy Ad
An old advertisement touts Wizard Owl nasal spray and liver pills priced at 30c, promising grip and flu relief. It claims soothing chest and throat comfort, money-back guarantees, and urges readers to buy from druggists. The ad also mashes in a long, unclear wartime scene with military imagery and a grand headquarters description.

Middletown Reservoir Standings Report Water Supplies
Middletown reports water levels for three reservoirs comparing current, weekly, and yearly measurements. Monhagen sits at twenty two feet, three inches above last week and two feet two inches above last year. Highland shows fifteen feet one inch, one foot lower than year ago? Shawangunk at twelve feet one inch, seven inches above last week and four feet five inches below the year prior. The piece ends with a note on elbow grease versus talent in a separate aside.

A garbled OCR fragment clumsily blends stray phrases about breaking cold with disjointed medical terms and odd spellings. The readable bits mention bowels and a doctor name, but no clear event or person to anchor a coherent news item.
