The Ordinary Cold as a Collective Illness Explained
A Vienna Clinical Review essay argues the common cold is not a single illness but a umbrella for many complaints. It warns against universal remedies and urges careful nasal examinations to identify the true cause, often microbial, with heat, drafts, and wet feet as mere accessories.

Wakeful Children and Other Odds and Ends
A garbled page piece combines family remedy notes praising Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for a child’s sleep and stomach trouble, with a string of anecdotes about palmistry, a pastor, and a punchline about an office boy and his employer. It includes moral reflections on courage, risk, and persistence, plus a peculiar animal tale about the black swallower fish and digestion.
Stopped the Steating and a Tale of Piles Remedies
A mixed humorous and ad filled clipping recounts Rev. Joseph Erakine losing a handkerchief and sewing it into his coat, a curious church moment, plus mock ads for DeWitt’s Salve and DeWitt's Little Early Risers. It weaves odd dialogue, jokes, and brief product mentions from Reinhart's Pharmacy. The piece ends with a quip about critics and a poet.
