In early Australian mining days three odd figures stood out, John Peter Paul Probeck called Prussia or Proonhan duck, his wife Nellie Prooshan, and Patrick Glennie called Prooshan Pat.

In this letter to the editor a critic scorns W F Dunn MLA and the Lang administration for failing to impress the public with reforms. It likens Lang to the historical John Lackland and warns of mounting opposition, arguing the promised humane legislation has fallen short and invites reckoning for perceived political overprivilege.
The piece rails at Dunn's critique of Labor and Tast, arguing the party has little new to offer and detailing opposition to wage inflation, rationing, and taxes. It cites Lackland and Bavin, laments inflation, praise for certain reforms, and critiques unemployment impacts while mocking political figures and estate privileges.
A vintage advertisement touts Heenzo as a cough suppressant for cold croup bronchitis and whooping cough. It claims eight bottles worth in a single concentrate when mixed with sweetened water and asserts it contains no poisons suitable for babies and supports home use.
A fragmentary critique accuses politicians of self interest and vote chasing, calling critics penstrainta and faulting Labour for unscientific methods and policy drift. It laments wage disputes, arbitration acts and shifting compromises amid the Dunn era. It argues for a common employer employee arrangement to stabilize jobs and warns against partisan drift and costly extravagance.
