What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with two brief humorous anecdotes. The main cartoon depicts a porter or street vendor with a small child asking why she's crying—the joke being she put her penny in a slot expecting chocolate but nothing came out. The advertisements reflect late-19th/early-20th-century patent medicine culture: **Vin Mariani** (a cocaine-infused wine marketed as a tonic for "overworked men, delicate women, sickly children"), **Old Overholt Whiskey** (government-guaranteed), and various other products including golf cards and underwear. Notably, there's a "Prosperity Dinner-Pail Badge"—referencing McKinley's 1900 campaign slogan promising "a full dinner pail" under Republican policies. The two jokes mock working-class people: one ridicules a man who paid a dollar to a weight-loss scam; another shows two working-class women bonding over making currant jelly. These reflect *Judge*'s satirical posture toward ordinary people while promoting consumer products to its middle-class readership.
