This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** rather than political satire. The bulk consists of commercial ads for Paris novelties, bicycles, medicinal products, and hotels typical of 1890s New York periodicals. The only substantial editorial content is "The Sailor's Consolation," a reprinted poem (attributed to William Pitt, 1840) featuring two sailors—Barney Buntline and Billy Bowline—contrasting their safe life at sea during a hurricane with the dangers faced by landbound city dwellers (falling roof tiles, carriage accidents, fires, theft). The joke is ironic: sailors claim they're fortunate to avoid urban hazards, while obviously facing mortal peril at sea. The remaining content includes ads for the "Wonder Cure Battery" (a dubious medical device), various patent medicines, and a listing of leading hotels and theaters—typical period advertising lacking satirical intent.

One night came on a hurricane, ‘The sea was mountains rolling, When Barney Buntline slew'd his quid And said to Billy Bowline “A strong nor-wester's blowing, Bill ; Hark! don't ye hear it roar now? Lord help ‘em, how I pities them Unhappy folks on shore now ! “ Foolhardy chaps as lives in towns, What danger they are all in, ‘And now lie quaking in their beds For fear the roof should fall in ; Poor creatures, how they envy us, ‘And wishes, I've a notion, For our good luck in such a storm To be upon the ocean ! “tAnd as for them that's out all day ‘On business from their houses, And late at night returning home To cheer their babes and spot While you and I, Bill, on the deck: Are comfortably lying ; My eyes! what tiles and chimney-pots About their heads are flying ! “Both you and I have ofttimes heard How men are kill'd and undone By overturns from carriages, By thieves and fires in London. We know what risks these landsmen run, From noblemen to tailors ; ‘Then, Bill, let us thank Providence ‘That you and I are sailors.” —William Pitt, 1840. WONDER-CURE OF THE XIX. CENTURY. ‘The marvels of medical science in its application to mechanism have undeniably been exhausted in the invention of The Wonder Cure Battery, generating its own power, consisting of a vapor, penetrating the air passages of the human system to their entire extent, and curative of diseases inaccessible to other remedies. Manufactured by the Actina Company, No. 86 Fifth ‘Avenue, New York City, it has been before the public and most successfully tested during the past six years. Consequently its remedial effects have been attested as matters of solid fact by clouds of witnesses of the highest social standing, afflicted with neuralgia, ca- tarrh, hay fever, nervous headaches, asthma, insomnia, brain troubles, and kindred complaints, ‘who have spontaneously ‘tendered testimony as to’ the rapidity and permanence of the cures effected by this infallible agent. No chest cold can long exist if the Wonder Cure Battery is used. It instantly relieves colds in the head and all throat’ affections, loosening the phlegm oppressing any part of the system. It is guaranteed to effect a positive cure, not only for those complaints but also deafness and impairment of eyesight, restoring the senses of hearing and seeing, while supplying the most potent nerve stimulant known to science. Re- member, The Wonder Cure Battery is not a powder, a snuff, nor a douche, but a mechanical invention of con- venient size to be carried in the pocket, lasts an entire life-time, ever ready for application, while its operation is so simple that it can be used by any one. It is trans- ‘ed by mail to addresses in any portion of the known world. Visitors to the Company's parlors can receive trial treatment gratuitously, while residents at any distance, who will send with their postal addresses three 2 cent stamps, will receive in return an illustrated book. “* Maria,” demanded Mr. Billus, ‘do you intend to wear that ridiculous hat to church this morni: ea ah | certainly do, John,” replied Mrs. Billus. lovely hat. There’ will not be a nicer one there.” “'If you go to church with that thing, Maria,” he stormed, “I'll wear the squeakiest pair of boots I've got!" ‘i can't help it, John,” said his wife sweetly. ‘They were late at church; Mr. Billus wore his squeaky boots, every- body looked round and saw the hat, and Mrs. Billus was happy. At evening when I go to bed I see the stars shine overhead. “Frank Dempster Sherman. Well, where does Mr. Sherman expect to see the stars shine?’ Is not overhead the proper place for them? And how can they help shining? Many a boy on the frontier who to bed in the garret of a half-built house has looked up through cracks in the roof and “seen the stars shine overhead.” It was supposed, however, that Mr. Sherman had a tight roof to his dwelling. Yet it may be that he has a skylight “‘ over- head” in his bed-chamber. Still, suppose Mr. Sherman should not go to bed in the ‘‘evening,” but stay out till the wee small hours when daylight doth appear, would he not still find the ‘stars shining overhead?” Even in the day-time stars have been known to shine. It is feared Mr. Sherman has not revealed a profound poeti- cal sentiment in the above couplet.—Z/mira Advertiser. niu BEST PHYSICIANS. |) BEST VAL UEccer off-red. 100 for $4.00. 50 for $2.00.
