What you’re looking at

This page combines **advertising and light humor** typical of Judge's format. **The Main Content:** A Standard Oil Company advertisement for Nujol mineral oil, disguised as educational satire. It contrasts old medical practices (bloodletting, harsh laxatives) with modern "rational" treatment—positioning Nujol as a gentle internal lubricant for constipation. The historical framing ("In Shakespeare's time") gives credibility to promoting a commercial product. **The Humor Sections** feature three brief jokes: one about a child becoming a "furniture mover," one romanticizing plain home cooking versus fancy French cuisine, and one about a cub reporter covering a wedding where the groom didn't show up. **The Point:** This is primarily a **disguised advertisement** using educational/satirical framing—a common early-1900s marketing technique. The humor pieces are filler content, typical of Judge's miscellaneous joke sections. Nothing here addresses specific 1917 political events; it's generic Americana content designed to appeal broadly while promoting a product.

When Physician Meant “Physic— Dispenser” I Shakespeare’s time, if you were sick and went to a doctor he did one of two things. He 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 ] ive and cathartic drugs. In fact, the habitual use of laxatives is now known to be one of the most fruitful causes of constipation. of the hiehest standing prescribe Nujol because it relieves Physicis constipation without any bad after effects and without forming a habit. It acts in effect as an internal lubri- cant, preventing the bowel contents from hardening, and in this way facilitating normal movements. NUJOL Is bottled at the refinery and is sold only in pint bottles bearing the name NUJOL and the imprint of the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey). Refuse substitutes—be sure you get the genuine.

Real Cooking My maw she cooked no table dotes or ally carts or such, And when it come to throwin’ style, she wasn’t very much, There wasn’t no French names hooked onto vittles she would cook, She got "em from experience, not from a furrin book She didn’t have no casseroles like they have now in grills, No caviar, no curried things, no mutton chops in frills. Or other high-toned rig s—just some kittles, that was all But she could cook the biscuits that, by jing, would never Her pie crust, gosh, ‘twould simply melt right in a feller’s mouth. Her Johnny cake seemed like it came right from the sunny South; Her crullers made a feller sit right up and call for more Her bread was one thing upon which she set a lot of store. No, friends, she wasn’t very long on what they now call style, But she could surely cook the stuff that ma ler smile.
