Thousands suffer hidden kidney trouble with backache and frequent urination. The ad touts Dr Kilmer's Swamp Root as a remedy, claiming rapid relief, and offers sample bottles by mail from Kilmer & Co of Binghamton New York.
A historical draft traces Minnesota’s capital journey from 1848 to the final choice of St Paul. It covers early settlements, territorial naming debates, Ramsey’s 1849 arrival, and the evolution of capitol sites, including fire in 1881 and the Market Hall temporary use before the present stone capitol. It notes Bill Rolette’s vanished enrollment incident and shifts in capital location debates.
The piece recounts Governor Ramsey's 1848 message to the Grey territory legislature about a temporary territorial seal later unused, the alternative seal used until 1858 bearing 1849, and the device resembling the current seal with a wheeled plowman, a distant frontier scene, and an Indian on horseback nearby.
An early session of the state legislature debated the state seal as terms and symbols emerged. The account notes the motto Quo sursum vis videre and misreadings, describing symbolic figures such as a plowing man and contrasting depictions. The final seal used the old territorial device with minor changes, and the motto Liberty du Nord survives in a North Star context.
A description outlines the Minnesota state flag adopted by a commission. It notes a bordered field with gold inscriptions of 1819 and 1803, plus 1857, a gold Minne sota legend, Ninteen stars around the seal, the North Star trio emblem, and a golden gopher atop the standard.
A damaged ad offers a home remedy claiming to cure nervous weakness memory trouble and physical drain. It promises a plain sealed envelope and directs readers to write Bioblusar in Detroit Michigan for the prescription.
