The page is primarily a **full-page advertisement** for Nujol (a mineral oil laxative), though it opens with a small cartoon by Dow Henoon. ## The Cartoon The cartoon shows two figures in conversation—appears to be a patient ("Kelly") speaking with a doctor or authority figure about a medical recommendation. The joke is visual setup for the advertisement below. ## The Advertisement The Nujol ad uses a metaphorical "Police Force of the Body" conceit: white blood corpuscles are portrayed as internal police fighting disease germs. The pitch claims **constipation weakens this police force**, allowing illness to flourish. Nujol distinguishes itself as superior to competing laxatives (salts, pills, castor oil) by claiming it works *naturally* without forcing or irritating the bowels—softening waste instead of forcing movement. The ad emphasizes Nujol is "harmless and pleasant" and urges readers to "keep your police force on the job." The remaining page content includes music reviews and other period advertisements (Cortes Cigars, 1,000 Island House resort).

The Police Force of the Body AY and night—without ceasing—a struggle is going on in your body between the germs of disease and the white blood corpuscles—the police force of the human body. If this police force weakens, disease germs gain a foothold—sickness follows. Constipation is the most common and dangerous way of corrupting the human police force. Food waste remains too long in the intestines—dec poisons the blood—and opens the way for attack by the germs that cause tuberculosis,diphtheria, pneu- monia and a multitude of other ills. The culpable habit of using salts, pills, mineral waters, castor t oil, etc., to force the bowels to move, makes this condition even worse, as constipation returns almost immediately. a Drawn by Dow Henoun Nujol is entirely different from drugs as it does not force or me “Say, Kelly, you've had ind irritate the bowels. ; . s what doctor do you recom Nujol prevents stagnation by softening the food waste and encour- he aging the intestinal muscles to act naturally, thus removing the the — cause of constipation and self-poisoning.
