**Main Content: Advertisement for Nujol** The large left-panel advertisement discusses the historical shift in medical treatment. It explains that in Shakespeare's era, physicians either "bled" patients or "physicked" them (administered harsh purgatives). The ad argues that modern doctors now recognize the *irony* that habitual laxatives actually *cause* constipation—so Nujol (a mineral oil laxative made by Standard Oil) is promoted as a safer alternative that acts as an internal lubricant without habit-forming effects. **Right Panel: Miscellaneous Humorous Anecdotes** Multiple brief jokes lampooning human nature: a British tourist at Niagara Falls makes inane commentary; a Scottish friend bests an English braggart by claiming they'd tell larger lies in silence; various witticisms about milk quantity, bread substitutes, office workers, and marital adjustment. These are light social satire typical of Judge's humor—mocking pretentiousness, foreigners, and domestic situations common to early-20th-century American audiences. The page is primarily **advertising-driven**, with humor secondary.

Physician Meant “Physic— Dispenser” N Shakespeare’s time, if you were sick and went to a doctor he did one of two things. Ile either bled you or “physicked”” you. Physicians no longer prac- tice bleeding. And the leaders of the profession are equally opposed to the in- discriminate use of laxative and catharticdrugs. In fact, the habitual use of laxatives is now known to be one of the most fruitful causes of constipation, Physicians of the highest standing prescribe Nujol because it relieves constipation without any bad after effects and without forming a habit, ts in effect as an internal lubri- preventing the bowel contents from hardening, and in this way facilitating normal movements.
