Minesweeper.—Ask the Admiralty. It won't tell you. CD.F.—Cannot undertake to be your Voice even for one issue. Pay the man! Mamie.—That phase of the woman in a man's job question has been dealt with seven hundred times. Cine.—lf you, as you say, "object to three out of every four movie dramas I have seen," why go? Vivi.—We deliberately avoid a quadruple advance in circulation by refraining from publishing the libel about a civil service junior clerk. Yin.—Vivid attack by an experienced hand of a very small mosquito with a very large sledge hammer. Try tackling a large subject with a tack hammer. Cancer.—The case you refer to was published by an English doctor in "The Gentlemen's Intelligencer" during 1762. This medical man declared that a woman had been cured of external cancer, by placing toads in the orifices made by the disease. The assertion is most solemnly made, and was evidently then believed, by the credulous.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.73%.
