This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 12 has an article headed: "THE DREAMY DRUG" "The Rapid Increase in the Use of Opium in the United States" "Its Deadly Fascinations Submitted to by Thousands" and more. Text takes up 1 1/2 columns.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 16 pages, a little irregular along the spine, nice condition.
