Promises and Pseudo Cures Amid Ocean Storms
A tale recalls a Frenchman on a stormy voyage promising a wax Saint Christopher image in exchange for survival, then muttering a mock vow about paying if he reaches shore. Another warns he will eat no ham unless mustard accompanies it. An advertisement touts a “Golden Specific” powder claiming cure of alcohol craving with guaranteed results, plus a transportation notice for trains and schedules.
