A Voss Gazette naval correspondent argues England can quickly blockade Russian ports on the Baltic if war breaks out. The piece compares to 1854, cites ironclads like Inflexible and Devastation, warns Russian defenses, torpedo boats, and minefields, and concludes English fleet superiority would threaten Russia and its routes to India.

It claims one third of the population suffers, misattributes it to liver or kidney issues, and promotes Seigel’s Curative Syrup and Pills with endorsements from chemists and customers across several towns in 1882.
