What you’re looking at
This page contains satirical content and advertisements typical of early 20th-century *Judge* magazine. **"Our Headache Corner"** is a faux-serious editorial mocking patent medicine advertising by proposing a fictional "19th Amendment" prohibiting headaches. It humorously promotes "Kohler-Antidote," a real product, as a safe alternative to depression-causing drugs. The satire targets both headache sufferers and the medical industry's dubious claims. **"Letter-Laughs"** is a reader-participation section where people create visual puns by cutting letters from printed text to form images. The example shows a burglar looking under a doormat—the joke being this "old-fashioned" criminal searches for hidden door keys before breaking in. **"A Club We'd Hate to Join"** cartoon satirizes Prohibition-era federal revenue officers (who enforced alcohol laws) by depicting them in a bowling club—likely mocking their authority or suggesting they deserve recreational mockery. The remaining content consists of era-appropriate advertisements for cruises, golf balls, and cough medicine.
