But the crime reports, society news and filler items are what interested me. So today I present things I learned from reading a box of old newspapers: • “The Toledo Times says there are six ladies of that city now swallowing live frogs daily as a cure for consumption,” reported the Nov. 16, 1860, edition of The Columbus Gazette..>> view originalCalls for boycott of Oscars grow over diversity of nominees
