"the education of women"
a paragraph from an original page taken out of a magazine printed in 1884, that I ordered and just received in the mail today....
"the education of women"
it is high time that all good housewives should be more highly educated than in former years, if only to be able to detect the manifold schemes made by unscrupulous manufacturers to aid competition by deception. a case in point has very recently occurred. various dealers, totally unconnected with Baron Liebig have been using his name and photograph and the Liebig Extract of Meat Company have found it necessary to inform the public that they are the only manufacturers who can offer the article with Baron's Liebig's guarantee of genuineness. it therefore behooves all housekeepers to insist upon seeing the name of the Company on the jar and the fac-simile of Baron Leibig's signature in blue ink across the label.
...the page also has some small adverts that mention.....
-Shampoo with Cocaine, used for rapid hair growth and removal of dandruff (Burnett's Cocaine)
-Calming medicine for babies with whiskey as the main ingredient
-Sarsaparilla as "completely curing Erysipelas for twenty years"
-a massive three-wheeled contraption (tricycle) used for racing "won all races in 83"
