Off for Colorado and other distant topics

Household Cures and Farming Tips From A Rural Page
A cacophony of home remedies and agricultural notes pours from a rural page. Recipes cover soothing coughs with milk, tooth pain with salt and alum, eye styes, and nasal bleeding with cold water and improvised tools. Practical paint removal uses soda and lime, and a fly paper recipe blends pine resin and castor oil. A Boston street scene aside recalls a balky horse and a crowd’s comic efforts to move it, while farming advice promotes alfalfa cultivation and soil care.
Frightful tale of a child with a nose saw and a nurse
A Fredericksburg physician extracts a six inch watch chain from a child’s nasal canal during treatment for a cold. The anecdote contrasts a wary mother’s warnings with a later theatre incident in San Francisco where a crying infant drew the audience’s ironic applause as the orchestra paused.
