Looks like the Tribune’s toner cartridge was running low when they printed this edition. ;-)

Google has a feature where you can browse old newspapers, it’s quite amazing to see the difference in reporting. Also just plain neat to see stuff from a different time.

Historic archives are a pleasure to browse. Thanks for posting the link to this one. I've been browsing the NY Historic Newspapers org for a while. Nice to see beyond NY as well.

FWIW, I checked your link for news headlines printed exactly 100 years ago and this is what came up:

Thanks -- really cool! I always enjoy reading the advertisements as much as the news in old papers. Advertising has come a long way. Ad copywriters in 1897 sure had a way with words. Don Draper hadn't been born yet...

After re-reading the ad, I think Hillary could have benefitted significantly from Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

It would take a miracle drug to cure Hillary of her gripe.

I’m impressed! You read to the very last line. Good point — Dr. Pierce didn’t make enough of his Favorite Prescription to cure HRH of her gripe.

“One is a laxative, two a mild cathartic.”

Hillary takes five. That’s why she fell down.
