His Place at the Broom in Memoirs of Monsieur Claude
The piece cites an 1851 Opera Co minque scene with Comte de Moray and a rumor about sweeping the chamber. It then recounts anecdotes from Mill Creek Indiana Territory about a near fatal illness and Electric Bitters restoring health. It promotes Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup and DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills sold by S Kingston, ending with a call for Want Ads.
