A vintage ad touts Hamburg Breast Tea as a remedy for colds. Directions advise a tablespoonful steeped in boiling water, strained, and consumed as a tea, claiming it opens skin pores, relieves congestion, loosens bowels, and breaks up a cold. It is marketed as inexpensive, vegetable, safe, and harmless.
An advertisement touts St Jacobs Oil as a quick cure for rheumatism and aches. It claims rubbing the oil on tender joints relieves pain without internal treatment and promotes freedom from soreness and stiffness in muscles and bones.
An antiseptic healing cream promises rapid relief from colds and catarrh by soothing inflamed membranes in the nose and throat. It claims to open clogged nostrils, stop hawking and snuffling, and offer instant relief after applying a small amount in the nostrils.

A skin specialist touts Mentho-Sulphur as a safe germ destroying remedy for eczema and itching. The first application cools the skin, rashes heal, and the preparation is like a pleasant cold cream obtainable from any druggist. For distant friends, send The Item for a year.
In a Sunday evening wreck near New Baltimore, a machine driven by Calvin Allewell skidded on a wet road and struck a roadside sign. His nine year old son Arthur suffered a broken right leg and loss of teeth, his sixteen year old daughter Henrietta sustained severe flesh wounds, and his wife broke her right arm. The family had been at Gettysburg and were returning home. Witnesses say straightening the car would likely have avoided the collision. The boy’s femur was broken at the upper end with a three inch bone fragment found in his clothing. The family’s other members escaped injury. The husband, foreman at Hanover’s shoe factory, rode with Isabel and Edward. Arthur’s injury could leave him crippled and disfigured. The car and sign were badly damaged. The second item notes George Fauth, 70, of York, who committed suicide by hanging after long illness. The fragment season in Pennsylvania opens on July 3.
An advertisement claims skin troubles from pimples to eczema arise from blood poison and promises Sanat tonics cleanse and strengthen the system. It asserts purified blood with enriched red corpuscles restores health, clears skin, and brightens eyes, selling through store owners and clerks nationwide.
