Syrup of Figs Promises Health and Purity

It stresses the product’s pleasant taste, undefined health benefits, and notes it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co with bottles sold nationwide.

Muckilage and appetite tale from frontier Wisconsin
A backwoods Wisconsin legislator misreads a page’s ink and mucilage. He asks to drink the sticky substance as food, then seeks more, saying it’s sweet but hard to swallow. The anecdote, cited from the Saint Louis Globe Democrat, contrasts frontier naiveté with urban government. A separate notice requests immediate settlement of the estate of Paul Neth, with Charles Neth authorized to receipt.
