A periodical entitled "The Seven Wonders of the World Almanac" for the year 1886, with "The Seven Barks Almanac" as the running title inside the booklet. The publication includes solar, lunar, and historical information for each month of the year, but the bulk of the booklet is an extended advertisement for "Seven Barks," a patent medicine "sold at wholesale by Lyman Brown, 54 Warren Street, New York City." The text outlines the various conditions the medicine purports to treat, along with testimonials. The back cover of the almanac lists Yaeger & Haase of Shiloh, Illinois, Dealers in General Merchandise, as a local distributor.
