What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and short humor columns**, typical of Judge magazine's format. The notable cartoon/joke content includes: **"Poodle Show Jury" joke**: A man refuses jury duty until learning it's for a poodle show, then eagerly volunteers. The satire mocks the wealthy's obsession with frivolous pet shows over civic responsibility. **Marriage/Infidelity jokes**: Several quips about men making excuses to wives about late nights at clubs, and remarking that second wives are "worth more" (money). These reflect early 20th-century attitudes about marital deception and gold-digging. **Fashion satire**: A circular joke about chrysanthemums being expensive because fashionable, and fashionable because expensive—mocking arbitrary status symbols. The bulk of the page features **patent medicine and consumer product ads** (Postum coffee substitute, Glenn's Sulphur Soap, Evans Ale, Sohmer Pianos), reflecting common magazine monetization of the era. These ads often included testimonials making dubious health claims.

SURE STARTER FOR ILL HEALTH, Useless worrying (a form of nervous- ness) is indirectly the result (through the nerves) of improper feeding. A furniture man of Memphis says: “ About a year ago I was afflicted with nervous spells, would worry so over triv- ial things. [went to consult one of the best phy- sicians in Memphis and he asked among many questions if I drank coffee. “His advice was: ‘Go to some provi- sion store and get a box of Postum, drink it in place of coffee and, as you are con- fined to your desk toa great extent, try and get out in the open air as much as possi- ble.’ [followed his instructions regard- ing the Postum. “At that time my weight was 142 and I was taking all kinds of drugs and medi- cines to brace me up, but all failed ; to-day I weigh 165 and all of my old troubles are gone, and ail the credit is due to hav- ing followed this wise physician's advice and cut off the coffee and using Postum in its place. “Tnow consider my health perfect. I am willing to go before a notary public and testify that it was all due to my hav- ing used Postum in place of coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason for quitting the drug- drink coffee, and there's a reason for drinking Postum, Trial 10 days proves them all, Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, The Road to Wellville.” THERE ARE STILL SOME ALE-DRINKERS who stick to the notion that the only ale fit to drink is brewed abroad.
