What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with light satirical content**. The main editorial content consists of two brief humorous anecdotes: 1. **"One Way of Killing Them"**: A joke about a frustrated customer returning camphor balls to a pharmacist, claiming they're useless for killing moths because you can't hit a moth with them. The humor relies on the customer's literal interpretation—the balls are meant to repel moths through scent, not be thrown at them. 2. **"When the Camel Ails"**: A child's innocent misunderstanding about camels having "two different stomachs," leading him to worry whether a sick camel gets "tummy ache in bofe of his tummies." Both are gentle, family-oriented jokes typical of early 1900s humor magazines. The page is dominated by **period advertisements** for medical devices (trusses for rupture), shoe products, and notably **The Keeley Cure**—a famous (now-infamous) addiction treatment claiming to cure alcoholism and drug dependency through a secret formula administered at institutes nationwide. This was common patent medicine advertising of the era, before FDA regulation.

Too much candy and cake had made little Robert so ill that his mother found it necessary to administer medi- cine that the boy greatly disliked. “Ugh!
