A nostalgic ad touts Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound as a cheap, easy way to restore natural hair color. Instructions say dampen a comb or brush and run through one strand at a time for a natural darkening effect by morning. The piece echoes vintage drugstore promotion and cites a downtown pharmacist endorsing widespread use.
An old advertisement touts St Jacobs Liniment as a quick fix for lumbago sciatica and back pain promising fast relief. Separate text notes a Sunday school teacher prompting students with a quip about future roles, ending with the class responding with “Sweethearts.”
A vintage advert explains mixing Bay Rum Barbo Compound with water to create a gray hair tonic. It claims to darken faded gray streaks gradually without coloring the scalp, leaving hair soft and glossy and not sticky or greasy. The note suggests druggists can prepare it or individuals can mix at home at low cost.
A quirky mix features a debate on world population statistics and a note about a girl praised as prettiest, alongside Culicura Baby Rashes remedies with soap ointment and talcum. The nonsensical teaser ends with a cryptic line about a dollar key to something.
The article notes a record demand in early 1919 for Western Canadian farmland as prices rise with higher farm values. It cites local sales from 160 to 1,200 acres, compares prices to U S lands, and highlights optimistic forecasts for corn cultivation across the region while stressing the land’s productive potential and economic pull for settlers. It also mentions booster sentiment in Regina papers and notable sales near Moosejaw and Regina.
The passage recalls Moses sending twelve spies from Kadesh Barnea to scout Canaan, the majority fearing the land and the giants while Caleb and Joshua trust in God. It chronicles the 38 year wilderness wanderings as the people rebel, complain, and oppose leaders, leading to divine intervention and the vindication of Joshua and Caleb.
The ad claims EATONIC absorbs excess stomach acid to stop belching heartburn and gas instantly. It promises renewed strength, better mood, and the ability to eat freely, with a money back guarantee if distress persists.
