World's Faire Visit

Today, I went around looking at different exhibits, and I learned so much about our advancement in vaccines! My brother recently got typhoid fever, and I had no clue what to do. Luckily, someone helped me get in touch with Almroth Edward during the adventure, and he gave me a free sample. He also showed me some different experiments in which he tested the efficacy of his new antitoxins. He showed me certain antitoxins which helped control the growth of toxins, and other ones which destroyed them all together, thereby staunching the flow of blood. All these vaccines are extremely helpful, and I hope my wife and son can survive for much longer than I ever will. However, conditions are bad, and Cholera had moved across the continent for awhile now. Luckily, the new and improved sewage system stopped Cholera from spreading like wildfire, but other diseases are still prevalent in Europe. Nevertheless, I am certain that the scientists will study into it and fix everything.

I needed a way to record my findings, and I found the Kodak Camera sold by George Eastman. Like Almroth, George gave me a free camera as well, and he was extremely excited when I tested it out. I worked really well - albeit I had to stand there for awhile - and I bought one for my wife as well. Afterward, I saw the LPCCP Type-1 MkII, a recorder which was used to film the first film. He tested it out, and I learned how it works. It used sensitized paper film and gelatin stripping film to capture images; it was not only a camera, but it also projected the images that it filmed. All in all, when I came home after my trip to the World Faire, I was really happy and I felt satisfied at what I found.
