# Judge Magazine, April 28, 1894 This political cartoon satirizes someone being treated with multiple medicinal plasters as a cure. The figure, wearing a "Sullivan Co." headband, lies prone and appears to be a caricatured Irishman with exaggerated facial features typical of 1890s ethnic stereotyping. The plasters are labeled from various sources including "John," "Orange," and "Consolata," suggesting different political factions or regions applying remedies. The caption states "A FEW MORE PLASTERS LIKE THESE WILL KILL HIM," implying that the cure—likely political intervention or compromise attempts—will prove fatal. Without additional context, the specific political situation remains unclear, though it appears to reference Irish-American politics or Anglo-Irish relations circa 1894.
