Heat and sunspots blamed for coming planetary weather shift
An article by Garret P. Serviss in the Journal and Advertiser from Ithaca argues that extraordinary heat across the United States and beyond is due to a variable sun and thinning solar vapors. He cautions that the sun’s inner convulsions drive record heat and predicts four years of extreme temperatures and cyclones as sunspots indicate the sun’s condition. A separate testimonial for Dr. Kay’s Renovator claims it cleanses the blood and purifies the system, with sale details listed by local apothecaries.
