What you’re looking at

This page combines patriotic advertising with humorous anecdotes typical of Judge's satirical style. **Main Advertisement (Nujol):** The large Nujol ad uses WWI-era patriotism as a sales pitch, framing bowel regularity as a national duty—"keep yourself in good condition" to "serve your country." This reflects how wartime mobilization permeated American consumer marketing. **Comic Stories:** The page features brief humorous tales: - A wife worried about her enlisted husband forgetting practical matters - A Scottish funeral-goer using a funeral carriage for cheap "doctor-ordered" exercise - A cow's maternal instinct stopping a charging bull - A jockey avoiding a doctor named "Kurem" (a pun on "cure 'em") **Context:** These anecdotes reflect WWI-era concerns (enlistment, military life) mixed with timeless domestic humor. The Scottish dialect humor and class-conscious jokes (the funeral-goer's cheapness) were standard Judge fare, appealing to middle-class readers through gentle mockery of various social types.

Keep Fit—for Your Country In this world c itis your duty, above everything else, to keep yourself in good condition You can't serve your country in any ‘capacity if you allow your health to run down. The Nujol treatment will make you a national asset— not a liability. Take a little Nujol upon rising and retiring and it will remove waste matters and poisons (intestinal toxins) from your system, and keep your habits regular as clock work. Nujol is not habit forming. (The longer you take it, the less you need it.) No griping, straining, upset stomach or weakening. Nujol is absolutely pure and harmless, and is pleasant to take. Even the infant will enjoy it, and it will do as much for him as it does for his mother. Nujol is sold in pint bottles only, bearing Nujol trademark, never in bulk. Nujol is absolutely distinctive and individual. There is no other product on the market like it.
