What you’re looking at

This is primarily an **advertisement page** disguised as editorial content. The large left-side illustration shows a caveman and promotes NUJOL, a mineral oil laxative, using pseudo-scientific reasoning: modern humans inherited "caveman" digestive systems but eat processed foods, causing constipation. NUJOL claims to solve this without forming habits. The right side contains **"Passing the Mustard,"** a humor column with brief jokes typical of Judge magazine's satirical style: - Jokes about newlyweds and in-laws - A husband happy his wife's relatives aren't visiting - Casual racism (the "Ruastus" joke uses dialect stereotypes common to that era) - Wordplay and social observations (a farmer refusing boarders with different politics) The humor is genteel, domestic, and non-political—aimed at middle-class readers. The "caveman" advertisement reflects early 20th-century popular pseudo-Darwinism, presenting "primitive" biology as explanation for modern health problems. Nothing here references specific current events or identifiable political figures.

If You Lived As The Cave Man Lived Your health would take care of itself HE cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenuous life in the open. His digestive appa- ratus was suited to that kind of an existence, You inherit from the cave man the same internal mechanism, but you eat different food and you lead a dif- Serent kind of life. Hence the most universal preval- ence of constipation and its con- stant menace to health, Your problem is to adjust that ‘cave man”? internal mechanism ours to the sedentary life and ntrated food of civilized man. nplishes this adjust- ment by preventing the bowel con- tents from becoming hard, thus making natural movements easy. It doesn’t upset the ordinary pro cess of digestion and it doesn’t form a habit, NUJOL is sold in pint bottles only, at all drug stores. Refuse substi- tutes—look for the name NUJOL on the bottle and package.
