What you’re looking at
This page contains several short humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's satirical content: **"Heart Right"** is a Postum coffee substitute advertisement disguised as editorial content—a testimonial from a Colorado man whose heart trouble supposedly resolved after quitting coffee and switching to Postum. This reflects early 1900s health anxieties and the marketing of patent remedies. **"Appropriately Named"** is a brief joke about Walker Hill, a bald St. Louis banker whose name becomes the punchline when a friend mentions a town named "Bald Knob" has been named after him—a play on his obvious baldness. **"Chips from Old Blocks"** contains two unrelated short jokes about children's ages and daughters' musical ability. The page also features advertisements for Apollinaris mineral water, Velvet tobacco, and Murine eye tonic—typical turn-of-the-century patent medicines and consumer goods. The content reflects Judge's mix of social humor and commercial promotion.

A man in Colorado write “IT was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I be- came a practical invalid, suffering from indigestion and nervous- ent that made me wretch- self and a nuisance to who witnessed my sufferings. “I continued to drink coffee, however, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill health, till, on applying for life insurance, I was rejected on account of the trouble with my heart. Then I be- came alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it altogether, and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum I began its use. “The change in my condition was re- markable. All my ailments vanished. My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness disappeared, and, most important of all, my heart steadied down and became normal, and on a second ex- amination I was accepted by the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee and using Postum worked the change."” Name ven by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There's a reason,"’ and it is ex- plained in the little book, ‘The Road to Wellville,”’ in packages.
