A long humorous tale extolls an ice cure for malaise then spins a mock romance. A Milwaukee woman, aided by her coachman, uses ice therapy to recover from illness and elope.

She later led ambulances, then held a tobacco bureau in Bordeaux, and earned multiple honors including a gold medal, the bronze cross, the Pontifical Zouaves medal, a sword of honor, and a Legion of Honor cross forthcoming. Two other French women were similarly decorated.

A Detroit Free Press quotation voices the old man warning against arrogance and flattery. He argues that argumentation can corral vanity and that true friendship outshines wealth, urging humility over boastful self regard.
The Burlington Free Press notes a humorous Afghan divorce verdict in which a wife is to lick sour milk from the husband's bald head, ride a donkey through the bazar with her face astern, and live in harmony afterward, calling it the proper end of the divorce question. It then cites a London Standard physician arguing marriage between cancer and consumption victims yields poor offspring and links rheumatic- consumption unions to hip and joint diseases.
A collage of humorous snippets from a bygone era includes cartoonish lines about politicians, signboards, and a cottoning of small town gossip. Jests touch on music tastes, wardroom chatter, and a farmer’s rainday dinner, with brief sketches of daily life and local characters.
