What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising content** rather than political cartoons. The main non-ad item is a portrait illustration labeled "FANCY DAVENPORT" with an accompanying poem and endorsements for "Vita Nuova," a patent medicine/wine tonic. The "joke" appears to be promotional: actress Fanny Davenport is shown endorsing Vita Nuova, with scientific testimonials from chemists and doctors claiming it's a legitimate health tonic. A subheading notes she would have retired a year ago without this restorative product. This is typical late-19th-century **patent medicine advertising** that used celebrity endorsements and pseudo-scientific credentials to market tonics. The satire (if any) is implicit—Judge magazine was likely mocking such obvious commercial hype disguised as health science, a common target of satirical publications during this era of unregulated medical claims. The remainder of the page contains standard period advertisements for tobacco, safes, office supplies, and men's clothing.

MOUTH AND THE MAN I SING. I love the man who knows it all, From east to west, from north to south ; Who knows all things, both great and small, And tells it with his tireless mouth ; Who holds a listening world in awe The while he works his iron jaw. Ofttimes, in evening's holy calm, When twilight softens sight and sound, And zephyr breathes a peaceful psalm, This fellow brings his mouth around, With its long gallop that can tire ‘The eight-day clock’s impatient ire. His good, strong mouth! He wields it well, He works it just for all it’s worth ; Not Sampson's jawbone famed could ‘tell Such mighty deeds upon the earth, He pulls the throttle open wide, And works her hard on either side. Up hill and down, through swamp and sand, Tt never stops, it never balks ; Through air and sky, o'er sea and land, He talks, and talks, and talks, and talks, And talks, and talks, and talks, and talks, And talks, and talks, and talks, and talks. Good Lord, from evils fierce and dire Save us each day—from fear and woe ; From wreck and flood, from storm and fire, From sudden death, from secret foe ; From blighting rain and burning drought— And from the man who plays his mouth, —Burdette in Brooklyn Es Kistnan’s new Cigarette, Premitre Qualité, is a nov- elty, unique, chaste, and dainty. The dryness of the throat usually produced in smoking other brands of cigarettes is remedied by using Premigre Qualité. “Go to the ant, thou slugger,” says the Chicago Herald, We might have added that heaven notes the sparrer's fall.
