The medicine is described as legitimate, alcohol free, and not a beverage.
On the Vesuvius voyage from New York Capt. Edmund O. Matthews discusses dynamite in naval warfare. The ship’s three 15 inch pneumatic guns fire explosive shells from a revolving five-barrel chamber amidships.

A Round of overheated visions from Youth’s Companion readers.
