Diet featured salted meat, grease, and buckwheat with New Orleans molasses. Daily life included grinding coffee, traveling minstrelsy, and long funeral vigils. Advertisements tout Electric Bitters, Emory's pills, Stewart's drugs, and various patent remedies amid a noisy catalog of quack cures and medical claims.
