A letter argues for embracing modern light over old technologies and medieval beliefs. It compares the petroleum lamp with the tallow dip, praises railroad progress and the iron horse, and urges relying on contemporary knowledge rather than age worn practices. The author favors personal judgment and the light of today, dated May 10.
A letter to the Ledger extols self-control as essential for speakers, lawyers, soldiers, and leaders. It recalls Napoleon, Ney, and Waterloo to illustrate how calm judgment and restraint win trust and prevent defeat, urging rulers and teachers to uphold patience and steadiness under pressure.
A 19th century diatribe argues against parental or instructional punishment in passion, likening it to placing an insane person in charge. It questions competence to judge discipline and warns that misguiding a child leads to lifelong error once judgment matures. May 14, 1882.
London Times letters report Dr. Koch's address on the etiology of tubercular disease. Experiments show tubercle bacilli cause infection across species, with inoculation reproducing disease. Temperature limits and virulence persistence imply a path toward vaccination or antidotes, prompting cautious but hopeful medical anticipation.
A garbled ad laden with nostrums mentions Henry Johnsons arnica and off lini ment, Peruna tonics, nerve tonics, Teaberry flavors, Brown Iron Bitters, Parker's Ginger Tonic, and Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Scattered lines invoke health cures, misquoted quotes, and a stray diary-like anecdote about a rooster and a sleepy remark.
