What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief humorous anecdotes and advertisements from Judge magazine. The top-left cartoon satirizes **Christian Science**—a woman jokes that her elderly aunt, a Christian Scientist, insisted the man's illness was merely "thought" rather than real; now he's dead, proving thought alone couldn't cure him. The satire targets the movement's rejection of medical treatment in favor of mental/spiritual approaches. The **"Krazy Whacks"** section collects short jokes about everyday absurdities (a conductor's rudeness, a bride's naiveté about hammers, etc.). The right side advertises **Absorbine Jr.**, a medicinal antiseptic product, and a **Lindbergh wall map** celebrating Charles Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic flight and subsequent tours—then a major cultural phenomenon. The decorative map capitalized on Lindbergh's celebrity status among American consumers.
