A medical tip suggests using warm water and glycerine to ease earache, and a molasses drop as a quick pain reliever. The obituary notes Jonas M. Walker, born 1827 in Pennsylvania, died in San Francisco after chronic illness. Walker once profited from Comstock mining with Mackay and others, then invested in Eastern railways and a California residence later used as Woolsey hospital. His brokerage in San Francisco failed during the 1870s panic.
