What you’re looking at

This is primarily an **advertising page** from Judge's Christmas issue, with two brief humorous anecdotes and multiple product advertisements. The two cartoons are short jokes: 1. **"Past Help"**: A man brings a broken clock to a jeweler. The jeweler declares nothing is wrong—because the clock is dead, making it a "coroner's inquest" rather than repair. The satire mocks futility and uses dark humor about irreversible damage. 2. **"Doubling His Joy"**: A suitor wins a lottery prize, then asks the girl's father for her hand. He claims "one bit of good luck always brings another"—implying the father's permission is mere luck, not earnest courtship. Light satire on mercenary romance. **Advertisements** dominate the page, hawking **whiskey as medicine** (Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and Green River Whiskey), promoting dubious health claims—cures for consumption, pneumonia, asthma. This reflects early 1900s patent medicine marketing before FDA regulation. Also advertised: winter Caribbean cruises on AGWI steamship lines.
