What you’re looking at

This page contains **primarily advertising and short humorous anecdotes**, not political satire. **The Advertisement:** The large left panel promotes NUJOL, a mineral oil laxative by Standard Oil (New Jersey). It uses before/after imagery contrasting healthy, robust children with sickly ones, claiming constipation is "the chief foe to healthy childhood." This reflects early-20th-century patent medicine marketing that treated minor digestive issues as serious medical problems requiring commercial solutions. **The "Stories with Smiles" Section:** The right side contains brief comic anecdotes: - "Loot": A soldier's stolen belongings lead to military heroism and medals—satirizing how fortune and publicity can reward someone for accidental circumstances - "A Layer Worth While" and other short jokes about everyday situations (catching a moth, car accidents, birthday party etiquette) These are gentle, domestic humor pieces with no apparent political content—typical filler for magazines of this era. The page reflects early-20th-century American consumer culture and family-oriented comedy.

DO YOURS LOOK LIKE THESE? Brown-faced, vigorous, healthy youngsters— sick - ness never troubles them. Do yours look like these? Or does constipation, the chief foe to a healthy childhood, handicap them and make them the prey of the many ills that less sturdy little folk are heir to? NUJOL is particularly valuable for relieving constipation in children, as well as in grown-ups because it doesn’t upset the stomach, cause diarrhoea or form a habit. It acts as a simple internal lubricant, encouraging and facilitating the natural act- ivity of the bowels. Your druggist has NUJOL. Avoid substitutes and imitations, Sold in pint bottles only.
