Advice for Proper Darkroom Handling and Photographic Care
The guide warns against using brushes with stiff hair in dusting plates and recommends long hair brushes. It cautions against alkaline solutions in glass-stoppered bottles due to sticking, advises wet cloths for dust in dark rooms, and to keep trays for specific developing tasks. It emphasizes washing between solutions, moving carefully, and slow proper development for good results.
Principles of Photography and Plate Care
The writer stresses that photography hinges on proper exposure and development. Overexposed or weakly developed negatives yield poor results, while strong contrast comes from correct development. Use ample developer to cover plates, avoid relying on snap shots in deep shadows, and beware old plates yielding dull images.

Colds May Be Infectious Says Medical Opinion
Medical writer Dr H Willoughby Gardner argues in The Lancet that colds arise from exposure to civilization rather than cold itself. He cites Arctic expeditions by Sir William Conway, Nansen, and Jackson Harmsworth, where cold climates did not produce colds until explorers returned to populated shores. Examples show absence of colds at high altitudes and during long sea voyages, with illness appearing after contact with civilization.
