Cold or Grip Cure Promises Fast Relief for Ills
A citywide warning cites thousands suffering from colds and grips with many crippled businesses. The advert says the cure speeds up recovery by stopping discharges, sneezing, throat and lung irritation, inflammation, and fever, restoring sleep and strength, and claims value against influenza and obstinate colds. Available from druggists for 25 cents a vial.
Thaw Case Deepens as Justice Reviews Admissibility
Thaw’s fate hinges on whether Justice Dowling accepts her testimony and whether cross examination will be harsher than the initial hearings. Assistant District Attorney Garvan’s Europe travels are cited to challenge Thaw’s claimed insanity, while Jerome presses for broader cross examination of alienists and later visits. Defense argues Thaw was legally sane at Stanford White’s death and has since regained balance, aiming to prove ongoing sanity despite prior commission findings.
