A nostalgic column recalls the 1952 World Series and the Dodgers Indians clash, praising broadcasters, mocking throat gargle humor, and highlighting the dramatic fifth game moment when Burleigh Grimes misplayed a bunt on slick grass, altering the outcome.
A reader reports acid indigestion after soda and praises Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for relief. The ad-style piece claims the product improves stomach activity, reduces gas and heartburn, and cites large sales and a testimonial from Peter George of Lethbridge, Alberta.
Grimes hurled a blazing fastball to Elmer Smith who hit the first bases loaded homer in world series history. Jim Bagby joined the record with a pitcher’s homer. Clarence Mitchell hit a long drive that looked like a triple but Billy Wambsganss snagged it for an unassisted triple play, a first in world series lore. Mitchell then made a five at bats life stat with a double play. Separately, Dr. Blum discussed a new speech synthesis device for the blind requiring $100,000 and years to scale, while a humorous tale ends with a quip about a boy and a fake beetle.
German electrical engineer Dr Walter Blum of Hanover has developed a reading device that vocalizes text for the blind. The idea arose on North African battlefront after a comrade near Blum was badly wounded and blinded.
An old home remedy explains making a cough syrup by dissolving sugar in water and adding pine concentrate. The mix yields 16 ounces of fast acting cough medicine with pleasant taste, claimed to be cheaper and effective for the family. Pinex promises money back if not helped.
