The veterinary-like account notes hiccough epidemics arising from hysterical contagion and nervous predisposition. It links hiccough during death struggles to photional derangement of the nervous system caused by a slackening of the nerves during abundant hemorrhage.
The text discusses the letter Z pronouncing it as zee in American usage and zed in British use.

M Henry Saussereau, famed snake hunter who destroyed over two thousand vipers, died in Paris from a snake bite. He had been hunting near Bouloire in Sarthe when a viper struck his hand and arm, and he perished after twelve hours of intense pain. A garbled railway remark follows, reporting a nonsensical exchange about sardines and street cars.
