A dialogue humorously contrasts American rail travel with fatal risk. A man dives toward the door as the train nears a station and is run over, yet claims he dies a true American. The piece notes high chances of survival amid danger and flashes of bravado.
Timed like an old ad, this notice promotes Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup claiming immediate relief for teething pain and associated woes. It boasts a long-ago medical pedigree, calls it pleasant tasting, and lists universal drugstore availability at 25 cents.
James Freeman Clarke argues that temperance rests on enriching public life. He urges accessible recreation for all social classes, including gardens libraries and concerts, with rich sponsors funding arts, theaters, museums, and a Boston zoological garden to uplift tastes and curb drinking.
The article notes yolk from eggs cleans fabrics when mixed with water or alcohol and can remove mud coffee and chocolate stains from velvet collars and cuffs. It also advises washing with soap afterward and rinsing. It adds egg’s effect on wheel grease stains and suggests pruning peach trees after severe winter freezes for better recovery.
Dr. Whitney Cleveland, once of New Haven and now in Colorado, is described as eccentric. He wears Quaker attire, records patient calls but never bills, accepts payments by choice, uses salt instead of soap, shuns tea and alcohol, avoids black clothes and neckwear, keeps boots unpolished, and remains fond of water, swimming at eighty as he did at eighteen.
A historical notice touts Dr Kessler’s English Cough Medicine as a reliable remedy for croup and lung troubles. Also advertised are McDonald’s Improved Liver Pills and Celebrated Worm Powders with money refunds, sold and warranted by local agents J Eisenhath and J Risenhath in Millheim and Philadelphia.
