This page is primarily **advertising and readers' letters**, not satire or political commentary. The main content features a **1911 Correja automobile advertisement** emphasizing the car's speed, power, comfort, and reasonable price ($1,450). The vehicle is depicted as "the year's sensation" and "stands in a class by itself." Below is a "From Our Readers" section containing letters about medical treatments—specifically discussing tuberculosis cures and a hunting dog's illness. The remaining space contains an **Abilena Natural Cathartic Water advertisement**, promoting it as a laxative for digestive health, with text assuring it's harmless and recommending druggists stock it. There is **no political cartoon or satire** on this page. It represents typical early-1900s magazine content: product advertising mixed with reader correspondence.

Cuartes E. Pace, M.D. Boston, Aug. 23, 1910. A Case My dear Lire:—I am one of these “Newsstand fellers” that pay a dime for Lire, but I’m just as good a friend as if I sent you a check for five every year, Mentally I have subscribed to Lire for ten years. I am deeply interested in the vivi- section business, and to such an ex- tent that I herewith enroll myself as a member in “Lire’s friends that want to know the truth about vivisection,” and this is a promissory note, payable on demand, for $10, whenever we get together and hire proper people to look into the “Locked Doors,” and I vote that Lr ct as treasurer and general manager of the fund, using same abso- lutely at their own discretion. Here is my story. I had a hunting dog that ran away from home one day and when I found him the next morn- ing he acted very queerly. He took lit- tle love snaps at the whole family, for Arakish car—looks totally different from all the rest. Smartest runabout built. REASONABLE The CORREJA sells for | HANDSOME $1450.

The next morning it was worse. I called a veterinary and he pronounced it “ra- bies.” I refused to believe him and, although 1 am poor, I offered him $100 to cure him. He said it can’t be done. Called another one, and he said the same thing. I asked him to kill the dog and he was such a clever man that he gave him morphia and strychnia at the same time. Next day the dog felt bully, but refused to eat or drink and snapping worse than ever. To make the story short, to prevent other vets from amusing or abusing him I chloro- formed him. I consulted medicos and they advised the Pasteur treatment for three of us who had been nipped. We took it. Now, Lire, they claim that is the only sure preventative, and the doctor who fixed us up says that Pas- teur could never have discovered the preventative or cure of hydrophobia without experimenting on the twenty- five dogs which he used. Now, Lire, I used to feel like killing when I read of the doctors amusing themselves with cutting up animals instead of going to the theatre, but I am hanged if I know what to think. Do you think we should have waited to see if one of us died to prove things and (Continued on page $43) For Every Member of the Family ABILENA, America’s Natural Cathartic Water. It eliminates from the system, in a natural, nor- mal way, the waste secretions which all body activity creates, and the unappropriated products retained from each day’s food and drink. But it does more. While other cathartics temporarily deaden the cell activity of liver and bowels, ABILENA stimulates these, bringing about speed- ily a normal systemic condition. Ninety-five per cent. of ABILENA is sodium sulphate—the ideal laxative and eliminant. ABILENA. America’s Natural Cathartic Water Not a medicine nor a chemical preparation—it is drawn from the famous AsitexA Wells. Chemical analysis proves it far superior to all other cathartics of any kind. It’s as harmless as pure drinking water. The dose is small, and it’s not bad to take. Ask your physi- cain about it. All druggists have it.
