The New York Press recalls bloodletting once common in medicine. It traces its rise under early modern medical authority, notes venesection’s decline, and cites German and American physicians debating its use in emergencies.
The piece argues against excessive health paranoia and germ anxiety. It compares modern fear to ancient kings who trusted no one with food and drink. It urges courage, balance, and confidence in daily life rather than morbid caution.
A disjointed piece recalls trespass by non Irish on Trish property, a French cure prefacing mortality, and an estate note from a French lawyer who wants burial in a chapel on his recently bought estate. It also mentions a merchant’s sudden death leaving an unsealed letter and a clerk miswriting “Shee writing the above I have died.”
A young lady asked novelist Marion Crawford for sentiment and his autograph. Her reply included a two cent stamp and a witty line. Collier's Weekly published the exchange noting Crawford’s brief, self referential response.
A Morgantown route scene shows Continental Express drivers under strict rules. Bobby Vayltor foils a masked holdup on a snowbound street, earning praise and a $100 reward note tied to Old Rules and Regulations. The incident ends with contemplation of marriage as Bobby plans a honeymoon.
The London Chronicle notes many towns share names in England. Newton ranks with Smith among common names, with seventy two places bearing it. Including Newtowns pushes totals near ninety. Sutton appears sixty eight times, while Weston Nottingham Aston and Easton variants appear in high numbers.
A lively Domeddle Treasure piece recounts Sir Squire Bancroft praising the bishop of London in his inimitable style. A charming young damsel visits London from Scotland and misadventures with a cab fare prompt a humorous exchange. The Bosivi Herald notes a veterinary misattribution and a medical misdoing involving Dr Nathan Sawyer and a puzzled wife.
The article recalls itinerant circuits when lawyers rode from county to county seeking clients, noting Lincoln’s enjoyment of road life, humor, and social ties. It contrasts necessity with choice as Lincoln, during his partnership with Sferndon, preferred travel over establishing distant branches, earning broad respect and friendships along the circuit.
