Scientific Lifting Claims and Historic Iron Pillar
A survey of scientific notes covers increasing light from alkaline earths through gas flames, snow versus turf protection, joint lubrication myths, plant reactions to electric light and thumination, and Koch’s parasitic studies. It also recounts the Kutab pillar’s ancient Indian iron craft, and Dr Maclay’s observations on skull deformation under infant head compression and heavy headgear in Torres Straits.

Peruna, Brown's Lion Bitters and More Health Ads
Disjointed quotes and advertisements uplift readers with quack remedies. Claims for Peruna inhalation, Dr Bull’s Cough Syrup, Brown's Lion Bitters, Zopesa tonic, Parker's Ginger Tonic, and Hop Bitters fill space. Light humor and home medicine advice echo late 19th century consumer culture.
