I think there is a way to do this using "search and replace" within Calibre conversion, but I do not know the shorthand or code for indicating these characters.
I have a simple text-block book that has within it, as some gutenberg.org books do, page numbers within the text block (not coded footers, etc.).
So some lines are interrupted like this:
I.e., I want to remove the space between "variable" and "valencies" and the page number and remove all similar page numbers throughout the text.
I am not a code writer: can someone walk me through this or point me to some correct, precise (I need to know how to indicate the dash as a running character and those page numbers, especially) instructions?

In chemistry, we find such assertions as that hydrogen being univalent while oxygen is bivalent, "makes it plain that we must expect to find no more than three compounds of those elements." It did not make the matter plain to those who held to the strict univalence of chlorine; and Dr. Williams says nothing about variable

*valencies, but rather implies their fixity. The history of opinion concerning Mendeléef's law is inexcusably inaccurate after the admirable history of the matter by Venable.
