Patients, staff and doctors created Cragmor's own publication known as "Ninety Eight Six". The name of the publication, being that of a normal human temperature without a fever, which is of course what Cragmor patients aimed for on a daily basis as it meant they were free to move around and typically feeling well.

The publication included many different sections to include:

Social Pages
Announcements
Advertisements
Notes from Dr. Forster & other physicians
Nursery Rimes
Upcoming Events
News
Birth/Marriage/Death Announcements

The publication was sold for 10 cents each or $1.00 for 12 weeks. The proceeds from the publication went to buying a moving picture machine for Cragmor patients to enjoy in the cinema.
