What you’re looking at

This page mixes humorous short jokes with period advertisements. The left side features "College Wits"—brief comedic exchanges about courtship, theater, education, and daily life. The humor relies on wordplay and social observations typical of early-20th-century American satire (references to "jitney" suggest WWI-era dating). The dominant content is a **Nujol advertisement**—a mineral oil laxative. The ad addresses constipation candidly, positioning Nujol as a safe "internal lubricant" against "casual dosing with laxatives and cathartics." This reflects early-1900s advertising's willingness to discuss bodily functions directly, before mid-century advertising became more euphemistic. Secondary advertisements include cigars ("Gorreo's"), paper warehouse services, and Old Town Canoes. The Nujol coupon is clipped from the page for reader response—standard direct-mail advertising of the era. The page exemplifies Judge's mixed content model: satirical humor mixed with commercial sponsorship, no clear political cartoon present.
