Fragments of curiosities and medical history across eras
A collage of stray items from a late 19th century paper notes odd quotes about flowers, land patents, smallpox history, a Paris bridge, and humor about dogs and mosquitoes. It references Francy For Hartford, a Russian czar vase, Mecca, smallpox spread, vaccination, and a tale of Scottish bravado, ending with a wry Norfolk observation on pearl powder.
