A Frenchman's Scheme to Boost Wedlock

A Paris journalist proposes an original inducement to marriage by granting a voting bonus to fathers for each legitimate child, arguing the state depends on the family. The note appears among brief items with medical ads and society notices, including a millennium of sensational cures and odd quips. The pieces reflect late 19th century newspaper miscellany with French social reform, patent medicine pitches, and wry humor about bachelors.
