# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains two distinct sections: **Top**: Editorial text discussing science's role in testing morality through smell and a Berlin specialist's "starvation cure" theory for various diseases. The satire mocks pseudoscientific medical fads—particularly the notion that deliberately starving patients could cure ailments. The author sarcastically suggests this would ruin finances, harm medicine's reputation, and create "hard-hearted and relentless landlords." **Bottom**: A cartoon titled "RIGHT IN IT" shows a farmer asking another farmer if his son Josh picked much hay, receiving the reply that Josh picked up a football at forty-seven different angles instead. This rural humor jokes about a boy's incompetence or distraction during farm work, likely mocking early football enthusiasm among farm youth as an impediment to agricultural labor.
