May 20, 1849

SAN FRANCISCO—Hey gents this snake oil salesman was so mysterious and enticing! He was flipping a coin in a dark alley and the flashing caught my eye. He then showed me all these little bottles that  would make my cough go away and he was very correct on that point! My cough is entirely gone, but I am having a bit of trouble seeing the newspaper. The paper boy got me right between the eyes and I just kind of stood there for a while. He got spooked and ran away but I am not all that bothered by it, because I have this really fascinating bottle of snake oil here in this strange glass bottle! This is really good stuff, you should try it!
