What you’re looking at

This page contains humor short-takes ("Passing the Mustard" section) typical of Judge magazine's satirical style, alongside a product advertisement for Nujol mineral oil. The jokes target familiar early-20th-century domestic and social anxieties: a wife complaining about her husband's odd habits, a man marrying an heiress for labor-saving purposes, a politician admitting he deliberately keeps constituents confused so they'll believe they need him, and various wordplay about relationships and commerce. The substantial **Nujol advertisement** occupies the right half. It promotes mineral oil as a "natural" remedy for constipation and "auto-intoxication" (a now-discredited medical concept claiming that retained waste in the bowels causes systemic poisoning). The ad cites physician approval and the Standard Oil Company's refinement credentials, reflecting contemporary trust in corporate/medical authority. The page is primarily **advertising with comedic filler**—typical Judge content mixing light humor with commercial messaging aimed at middle-class readers concerned with propriety, health, and domestic order.

Most anything allowed, ~~ Auto-Intoxication Good House- Bure AUTO-INTOXICATION is caused by con- ieatlon and stipation. The bowels fail to function prop- . erly. The lower intestine becomes filled with disease-breeding waste matter. Many physicians, who have long recognized the dangers attending the use of strong purges and of Fabictorniitne laxatives and cathartics, have adopted the mineral oil treatment, as a saner, more natural way of combating the evils of constipation and auto-intoxication. Nujol conforms in every respect to the require- ments of the mineral oil treatment. Its purity is vouched for by the world’s largest refiners. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trademark. If your druggist does not carry Nujol, accept no substitute. We will send a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75c—money order or stamps. Write for booklet ‘ The Rational Treat- ment of Constipation.” Address Dept. 13.
