Geo. <I think the cough would be preferable to the cure.> Carlisle Patriot Friday, December 8th, 1899 A Cure for Stubborn Coughs The medical profession report particularly good results from the use of Angier's Petroleum Emulsion in relieving stubborn coughs. It not only stops the cough and heals the soreness and inflammation of throat and lungs, but it assists stomach and bowel action as well and greatly improves the general health.

It is pleasant to take and agrees with the most delicate stomach. At all chemists and drug stores.

The mother of the deceased said she had occasion to correct her daughter, who then flew into a passion, and rolled on the floor. She rose, went to a shelf, took up a bottle containing carbolic acid, saying "I'll take this," and drank the contents. The bottle contained almost a pennyworth. The witness added that about a month since the deceased stole sixpence from a neighbour and the children in the neighbourhood were in the habit of tormenting her by calling out "Thief." That seemed to upset her. -- Emily Smith

In 1493 the pope at that time, Pope Alexander VI, in an effort to keep peace between two Roman Catholic nations who were interested in colonizing the countries existing outside of Europe, sent a letter dividing the world in two so that lands and peoples found to the west of this line belonged to Spain and lands found to the east were the property of Portugal. There were many things not taken into account in this Papal Bull, such as the people and their rulers of the newly found (at least to the Spanish and Portuguese explorers) lands. There was no provision made for other European countries, either Catholic or Protestant, who might be interested in creating empires. The two articles below are able to explain far better than I how the Line of Demarcation was supposed to work, and the consequences of this papal action. Capt’n John Line of Demarcation >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Line of Demarcation was an imaginary longitude, moved slightly from the line drawn by Pope Alexander VI to divide new lands claimed by Portugal from those of Spain. This line was drawn in 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his maiden voyage to the Americas. Territorial disputes between the two seafaring nations led the Pope to adjudicate in the hope that this would lead to peace between the two powers. It allocated territory as between Spain and Portugal, excepting only those areas already ruled by a Christian monarch or power; the interests of the people then inhabiting the affected lands were not otherwise taken into account. As such, the Pope's arbitaration could be considered as laying the legal and political foundation for countless other international documents drawn over the next four and a half centuries, based on the implicit or explicit assumption that European powers had the right to divide the rest of the world among themselves without regard to the wishes and aspirations of the peoples living there - an assumption still taken for granted in the Nineteenth Century (for example, in the partition of Africa between colonial powers in the Congress of Berlin) and only gradually coming into question during the Twentieth Century. Thus, Alexander VI can be considered to have laid an important cornerstone in the legal foundation of Colonialism. The line drawn ran north to south about 560 kilometres (350 miles) west of the Azores and Cape Verde islands. On the other side of the globe, it passed just east of the Philippine islands. Portugal's claim to the Philippines was recognized by Spain in the Treaty of Saragossa in 1529, which set the longitude 17° east of The Moluccas — The Spice Islands. Portugal was allowed to claim land to the east of this line, and Spain to the west. The line was never surveyed and many historians suppose that it was near the 48° longitude. It also just missed crossing the South American coast which had not yet been discovered. However, neither nation was satisfied with this settlement, and a year later they mutually agreed by the Treaty of Tordesillas (signed in 1494) to shift the line 2,000 km (1,300 miles) to the west of the Cape Verde Islands. This later gave the Portuguese a claim to Brazil. In later treaties between the two nations, Portugal gave up its claim to the Philippines in exchange for Brazil. Although the line was created to settle territorial disputes between the sole powers at that time, it did not take into account the rise of other powers such as France, nor the Protestant nations of Britain or the Netherlands, who ignored the papal demarcation and staked their own claims. Christian History Institute May 4, 1493•Alexander's Line Sounded Good on Paper ©2007 At the Spanish court, smiles creased the faces of almost everyone except the Portuguese Ambassador as Pope Alexander's letter was read. "Alexander, bishop, servant of the servants of God, to the illustrious sovereigns, our very dear son in Christ, Ferdinand, king, and our very dear daughter in Christ, Isabella, Queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon, Sicily, and Granada..." The letter (technically called a bull) drew a line between the colonies of Spain and Portugal. The pope declared that this would advance the cause of Christ. "Among other works well pleasing to the Divine Majesty and cherished of our heart, this assuredly ranks highest, that in our times especially the Catholic faith and the Christian religion be exalted and be everywhere increased and spread, that the health of souls be cared for and that barbarous nations be overthrown and brought to the faith itself... "We have indeed learned that you, who for a long time had intended to seek out and discover certain islands and mainlands remote and unknown and not hitherto discovered by others, to the end that you might bring to the worship of our Redeemer and the profession of the Catholic faith their residents and inhabitants..." Why was this extraordinary document written? In the fifteenth century, Portuguese sailors found their way around Africa to India. The little nation grew rich on trade in spices and other oriental products. Columbus persuaded Ferdinand and Isabella that the world was round and that India could be reached just as easily by sailing West. Spain soon found an empire in the West. In this way the two nations got the jump on the rest of Europe in exploring and colonizing the world and profiting on its rich resources. However, their claims soon clashed. Who could settle their differences? Both nations were Catholic. Both considered the Pope the final authority. Popes had already decided questions of territorial conflict between them. Portugal and Spain accepted it when on this day, May 4, 1493, Pope Alexander VI issued his bull. A Spaniard himself, his ruling favored Spain. The pope's line ran from the arctic pole to the Antarctic pole one-hundred leagues west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Anything to the west of that line belonged to Spain. Anything to the east, belonged to Portugal. The exception was if any other Christian king or power already held lands within those areas by Christmas day, 1493. Alexander has been harshly criticized for this bull. For instance, it treated the people of America and Asia as if their governments were of no account. Since he was one of the most wicked Renaissance popes, everything he did is viewed with suspicion. However, in this instance, he seems to have been honestly trying to keep the peace. Bibliography 1.

The two had been sweethearts, but she determined to break off the connection. At their last interview, he asked her to kiss him. She declined, and he put his arm round her neck, puller her head back, and cut her throat with a knife. After the commission of the act the prisoner ran and jumped into the river. Later on he gave himself into custody, and said he had cut his sweetheart's throat. He took the officer to the place, and gave him a knife with which he said he did the deed. The prisoner said that he had had it on his mind for months past to cut the girl's throat. He had courted her four years, and lately she had taken up with another man, who had assaulted him on two occasions. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. -- Emily Smith

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, August 13th, 1880 TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO A "FIRE EATER."—A terrible accident happened on Tuesday to an unfortunate negro "fire eater" at Leighton Buzzard. The "fire eater" was exhibiting his skill to an admiring crowd on a stand in the market place at Leighton Buzzard, licking red hot iron, bending heated pokers with his naked foot, burning tow in his mouth, and the like. At last he filled his mouth with benzoline, saying that he would burn it as he allowed it to escape. He had no sooner applied a lighted match to his lips than the whole mouthful of spirit took fire, and before it was consumed the man was burned in a frightful manner, the blazing spirit running all over his face, neck, and chest, as he dashed from his stand and raced about like a madman among the assembled crowd, tearing his clothing from him, and howling in most intense agony. A portion of the spirit was swallowed, and the inside of his mouth was also terribly burned. He was taken into a chemist's shop, and oils were administered and applied; but afterwards, in agonizing frenzy, he escaped in a state almost of nudity from a lodging house and was captured by the police and taken to the workhouse infirmary, where he remains in a dreadful condition. -- Emily Smith

Thanks Mary, At the moment it is driving me crazy, where I had to have some of the plaster cut away it keeps flaring up reddish and itchy up into the crease of the elbow and above on the inside part, then when I really get to thinking I'll have to see someone, it will die down, I've now resorted to putting some cream containing Aloe Vera and vitamins on it, at the moment it seems to be dying down again. I spend some time with the arm propped upon a pillow and a little cushion, as wearing the sling is really hard on the neck as well as the op scar on the front the top part seems swollen up again. I do lie down more than normal, and I do cook and wash up and other jobs, and so proud of myself that I cut up an onion took skin off and sliced it up small.

Hi Johno, Mary and Cathy, Was going to answer your letter last night so you would get it early this morning, BUT as it seems that "plain sailing" is not for me at the moment, had to go back to the hospital about 9.30pm as my upper arm just below the elbow was getting really sore, red and very warm, just needed some of the plaster sawn through and then cut off, almost had a repeat of 59 years ago when a nurse cutting of plaster cut me that bleed quite a bit, before they could replace with a stronger plaster cast, the nick last night didn't quite pierce the flabby flesh up in that area, just a red mark. Am figuring out how to handle most things; the worst are the bathroom toiletries, the hardest will be trying to wash my hair, which hasn't been cut since early Aug. The cough is now getting less often, but the phlegm is still copious when I do cough, but Dr Sadak did say that is often the case after an op like I had. It is because I am still hoping to be in England in April that Dr Sadak has bought all these Tests into February so we have the results in March, she wanted to start doing them in April. So with those thoughts on that last paragraph I guess that this is a good point to finish on Thanks for your good wishes Love and Hugs Marlene ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Dear Marlene > We are so very sorry to learn of your accident.

Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. Carlisle Patriot Friday, August 13th, 1880 ASSAULT BY A LADY.—At the Warwick Assizes, on Friday, Thomas PENN, gamekeeper and land agent to Lord CLIFTON, claimed from Mrs. Ann WALKER, Warming Hall, near Banbury, damages for an assault. Mr. LAWRENCE, Q.C., for the plaintiff, characterised the assault as the most extraordinary ever known to have been committed by a lady. The defendant, a powerful woman six feet high, although 62 years of age, struck the plaintiff several blows on the face after a quarrel about some land. Plaintiff then said defendant would "hear further about the matter," whereupon the latter again exercised the new idea of woman's rights by throwing the man into a ditch, of which the mud was four feet deep, and after he had scrambled out, getting his head in "chancery" and punching and pummelling him to her heart's content, and until she had blackened both his eyes. Owing to the injury sustained plaintiff was confined to his bed for three days, and for three weeks continued under medical treatment.—In summing up, Baron HUDDLESTONE said that juries were always ready to favour petticoats, but they ought to draw the line at such a violent virago as defendant, and give reasonable damages.—Verdict, £50. -- Emily Smith
