Discharge certificate and satirical dispatches from 1866
A fragmentary 1866 notice documents Wilson Harvey of New York claiming discharge from the army for Chronic Diarrhea cured by Dr Holloway’s. The excerpt blends verse, census quips, and brief items on frontier violence, religious controversy, swindlers, debts, and curiosities, including jokes about census takers, a scalped herder, and a Pharisee preacher’s fears.
