It ends with a crude medical advertisement for Dr. Sellers Coonh Syrup as a cure.
Two Memphis men exchange tales amid yellow fever fears. One survivor recounts how thieves raided a house as his family died. to scare them off he hid in a coffin and emerged as a ghastly apparition, causing the burglars to flee with their loot.
An advertisement extols Kidney-Wort as a dry compound easily prepared like coffee.

The text also includes irrelevant technical notes about heating and cooking related to air and beans.
