"A briefe and accurate treatise concerning the taking of the fume tobacco", originally published in 1621, and "The baths of Bathe" (1628) each have a separate title page dated 1660. Venner was a Somerset physician and his treatise on tobacco deplores its recreational use, but recommends it as a means of improving digestion and countering the malign effects of cold, misty weather and contagious air. Venner had a seasonal practice in Bath from as early as 1613; he was the first to write exclusively about the city's spa. His medical advice is generally traditional, discussing how the six "non-naturals" (environment, diet, sleep, exercise, excretion and the passions of the mind) affect the balance of the four humours, though he advocates bran to prevent constipation, and regular cleaning of the teeth to prevent tooth decay and bad breath. He also cautions against using lead pipes for drinking water.

It was an Anglo-American venture and the inspiration of Sefton Delmer who superintended the editorial content, wrote much of the material and inspired the staff. After trials and experiments begun in March 1944 the first edition appeared on 25 April 1944 with issue 9, as here, there deliberately being no issues numbered 1-8. It ended with no. 381 on 5 May 1945 (and the 'Extrablatt', announcing the German surrender, included in this run). The paper brought updated news of the war to the German troops, and for added interest and appeal it also featured sports results and pin ups. It was printed at the Luton News (Home Counties Group) then packed in large containers and dropped by Allied bombers on or behind the German Western Front. Starting with 200,000 copies a day, the print run was increased and by D-Day, 6 June 1944, the number of copies being dropped was one million a day. In total 159,898,973 copies of the newspaper were produced.
