This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge magazine, with one political joke. **The Political Content:** The single satirical piece references Korea's emperor considering renaming the country from "The land of the morning calm" to "The land of the cold gray dawn of the morning after." This mocks Korea's political instability and troubled governance around the early 1900s, when Korea faced internal crises and external pressures from imperial powers. **The Advertisements:** The page is dominated by product ads typical of the era: Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey, Union Pacific railroad, bicycles, Postum (a coffee substitute), Evans' Ale, and Ball-Pointed pens. One ad features a humorous testimonial from a Civil War veteran (wounded at Vicksburg, 1863) praising Postum as superior to coffee for digestive health—reflecting early 20th-century patent-medicine marketing and health claims. The Venus de Milo joke references an Italian street vendor selling cheap statuary.

A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food, but found a food-drink that supplies the nutri- ment needed. He says : “ Lhave been an invalid since the siege of Vicksburg, in 1863, where I was wounded bya minie ball passing through my head and causing the entire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer-boy and at the time was leading a skirmish line, carrying a gun, Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the congress of the United States for gallantry on the field. “The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia in its most aggravated form, and I finally proved ordinary coffee was very hard on my stomach, so I tried Post- um and got better. Then I tried com- mon coffee again and got worse. I did this several times, and finally as Postum helped me every time I continued to use | it; and how often I think that if the gov- | ernment had issued Postum’to us in the army how much better it would have been for the soldier boys than coffee. “Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights, Postum does not. There is no doubt coffee is too much of a stimulant for most people, and is the cause of nearly all the constipation. “This is my experience, and you are at liberty to use my name.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
