# Judge Magazine, April 6, 1912 - Doctors' Number Advertisement This page primarily features an advertisement for an upcoming "Doctors' Number" issue (April 13th). The cartoon shows a well-dressed man pouring drinks, likely satirizing doctors' social habits or their prescribing of alcohol as medicine—a common practice and satirical target in early 1900s humor. The ad copy promises the issue will contain humorous roasting of physicians and their patients, suggesting Judge's typical approach of mocking professional classes. The $5 annual subscription price and 10-cent per-copy cost indicate this was aimed at middle and upper-class readers who could afford both the magazine and medical care. The overall tone suggests satirizing doctors' pretensions and social standing during the Progressive Era.
