Waterway bill defeated in Illinois House amid push for special session
The Illinois House voted 67 to 36 to concur in the committee report killing Gov. Deneen's waterway bill. Election reform measures for Chicago and others were smothered in committee, while calls grow for a new special session to address issues from the Joyce decision. The day centered on canal and waterway debate as the Senate nears adjournment.

Century-Old Patent Remedies and Club News Collide
An old newspaper fragment lists Hale’s Catarrh Cure and Halis products with testimonials, prices, and druggists in Toledo and Buffalo, followed by a Central Federation of Women’s Clubs note in Cincinnati, and a jumble of ad payoffs and quotes. The disjointed text also mentions Mother Gray’s Powders for Children and Pettit’s Eye Salve, with brief editorial asides and generic proverbs.

Lewis' Single Binder Promises Vigor and Appeal
An old advertisement parodies a medical claim with a Shakespearean quip about a man’s impression on women and the promise of vigor from Lewis' Single Binder. The text mocks product rhetoric and relates to tonics once marketed for rheumatism neuralgia and similar troubles.
