What you’re looking at

This page is primarily advertising for Nujol mineral oil, with supporting editorial content about gender and labor. The main satire criticizes feminist activists who, the text claims, "despoiled" men of their money through charitable fundraising ("feministic furies"). The article "Job Swiping" sarcastically undermines the era's common complaint that women were "stealing" men's jobs by presenting statistics showing men had actually invaded traditionally female occupations (canning, clothing manufacture, millinery) far more extensively than vice versa. The Nujol advertisement exploits era-typical anxieties about "auto-intoxication" from constipation causing perpetual fatigue. It's endorsed by Harvey W. Wiley, a real FDA official, lending false credibility to dubious health claims typical of patent medicine advertising. The page also includes unrelated advertisements for a Burlington watch and music lessons—standard magazine filler content.

Job Swiping )R MANY moons the word hath gone forth that women have ruthlessly swiped men’s jobs, but now a statistical table basely turns the good old idea topsy turvy. Looking the figures over, one finds that the male has invaded the age-long work of his sister to a much greater extent than she has invaded his.

Physicians everywhere are recommending the min- eral oil treatment as the safest and most effective means of securing regular bowel movements where the patient has a costive tendency. The treatment is successful however, only when the oil used is free from dangerous sulphur compounds and conforms strictly to the pharmacopoeia requirements. Nujol is the purest and most reliable form of white mineral oil. It is not a laxative but acts in effect as a mechanical lubricant, facilitating the action of the muscles by which normal evacuation is accomplished. In this way the muscles are strengthened and regular habits encouraged. and selecting of peanuts, ete., until they constitute 25 per cen the working force, thile they are a good 20 per cent of those employed to work on corsets, artificial flowers, feathers, plumes, etc. As opposed to this showing, women make a small percent- age of the following masculine occupations Agricultural implements, men 08.4 per cent, women 1.2; auto manufacturing, men o8.8, women 1.¢; car manufacture, men 99.8, women .02; foundry work, men 97:3, women 2.0; furniture, men 95.2, women 2.6 and iron and stecl workers, men oy.1, women .o4.
