Hi Mary, Thanks for this additional contribution to 085! Could you please try uploading your file again? I need the actual URL from the uploaded file to be able to PL. Thanks!MaryinArkansas wrote: ↑August 16th, 2021, 3:38 pm I've just uploaded a recording. Or at least I hope I did, as the site pooped out on me a few minutes after. Anyway, the MP3 is: snf085_hydrophobia_anonymous_mh_128kb.mp3. Word count is approximately 450, Recorded length: 02:24.
If it didn't upload let me know and I'll try again.

Thanks, Mary, That's quite a vivid description of a man dying from rabies! Thankfully, in the U.S. nowadays, rabies can prevented, as anyone with a cat or dog knows, by vaccination of our pets.MaryinArkansas wrote: ↑August 16th, 2021, 5:26 pm Here's the link to the Hydrophobia article!

I looked up the herb called "skull cap," which was mentioned in the account. It's in the mint family and is apparently still sold as a herbal remedy for various ailments: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?

PK OK!

I thought the short rabies article was interesting and worth recording. I had no idea that the virus could remain in a person for so long.

Hi Craig, Thanks for this selection from Feltham's Resolves! Your recording is PL OK! Feltham looks like an interesting writer. From "On Women": ..."men have always held the Parliament, and have enacted their own wills, without ever hearing them [women] speak: and then how easy it is to conclude them guilty?"soupy wrote: ↑August 17th, 2021, 5:54 pm Of Women

I dipped into a couple of the short essays either side of the one you chose for vol. 085, and really liked "Of Being Over-Valued."

Hi Dale, Thanks for this timely and perceptive choice of reading for vol. 085! "It was found that the country was in need of over a million new dwelling houses, and that it would cost five billion dollars to build them." [1921]. How true what you said
PL OK!
Thanks Sue

Hi Craig, PL Ok! An intriguing selection! For certain, it illustrates the universal propensity to typecast people whose facial features do not match those of the writer; hence "men with the head of a dog." Whether accurately or not, I don't know, but this article from the Asiatic Society of Bengal (1847) tried to determine who these "cynocephali" actually were: https://books.google.com/books?id=zqBJAAAAcAAJ, pp. 47 ff.soupy wrote: ↑August 21st, 2021, 11:23 am The Cynocephali (From The library of Photius)

I was, personally, interested in the mention of the insect-based red dye produced by "an animal about the size of a beetle, red as cinnabar." https://www.clothroads.com/natural-dyes-lac/ During the colonial period in the Americas,
Spain tried to maintain a monopoly on Mexico's version of this dye, cochineal; it was expensive stuff. https://archive.org/details/travelstooaxaca_1906_librivox,
You are a great researcher Sue
Thanks for listening and for the links

Hi Betty, Many thanks for this collection of Pillsbury "comfort-food" ice-cream recipes! I will say, reluctantly, that just reading the recipes, rather than making--and consuming--the ice cream, is probably the better part of valor. I shudder to think of the calorie count that would follow the recipe for Vanilla Ice Cream (sized for 6 servings): 1 pint cream; 1 pint milk; 1 pound [2 cups] sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 9 eggs!BettyB wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2021, 10:04 am https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/snf085_icecreamandices_anonymous_bbs_128kb.mp3
