This page's main cartoon illustrates a humorous anecdote attributed to Chauncey M. Depew (a prominent Gilded Age politician and railroad executive). The story concerns a Western businessman who lost his fortune through speculative investment in Governor Flower's political ventures. When Flower died unexpectedly after eating radishes and drinking ice water—causing fatal stomach congestion—the market collapsed, wiping out the investor. The punchline: the man now refuses to eat radishes, blaming them for his financial ruin. The satire targets the volatility of 1890s speculation and the casual relationship between political patronage and risky investments. The "fatal radish" is a darkly comic metaphor for how seemingly trivial circumstances—or bad luck—could destroy fortunes in this era's unregulated markets. The remainder of the page is vintage advertising for patent medicines, tonics, and other products typical of the period.

THE PATAL RADISH, The Hon. Chauncey M. Depew telis this: “sat the other day beside a Western man at dinner, who said, when that course came and I took some radishes, * Do you eat radishes?” I said, *Yes.’ ‘Would you mind having. that plate of them removed?" ‘No; but, my friend, what is the matter with the radish? ‘ Well,” said he, ‘ Governor Flower, who was one of the most generous men who ever lived and wanted to help everybody, gave me a point in the Flower boom by which I made a great deal of money, and then, when the second Flower PROM HARPER'S WEEKLY (\ LCOHOL. it ls claimed by statisticians, is the chief curse of {body trae and unos throwet ts agency than edatto sea with alcohol im command canmet mind the winds, bervations, and arrive anywhere but in the ght port.
