The article questions prevailing views on a deadly throat disease, noting rapid membrane formation and conflicting medical theories among Allopathic, Homeopathic, and Eclectic practitioners. It cites cases in Dubuque, mentions rapid spread to the chest and larynx, and advocates precautionary hygiene and cold-water throat treatment while urging medical wisdom over rigid schools.
A letter from a medical correspondent critiques reliance on mysticism and divine retribution, endorsing orderly medical care and gradual truth. The writer urges readers to consult physicians rather than inaction, questions unsupported methods, and asks the editor to consider the piece as a practical article of creed.
A fragmentary account describes Brigadier Pattel meeting advancing French troops at the Summer Palace. The French breached gates, looted valuables, and burned imperial residences after detaining captives, with officers and soldiers profiting before an auction.
A detailed account describes imperial gardens near the Summer Palace, including Wun-show-yuen and Chintung-yuen, succumbing to a large destruction starting October 18 and culminating October 19. The narrator recalls smoke, fire, and ruins, noting spared monuments while surrounding homes burned and troops returned from the hill gardens.
