What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of advertising and railroad announcements rather than political cartoons. The main content is a Pennsylvania Railroad bulletin announcing the opening of their new station in Manhattan at Seventh Avenue and Thirty-second Street on November 27. It describes the station's convenient location near Broadway and major transportation connections. The left side contains a reader's letter arguing that vaccination is more dangerous than snake bites, citing a British physician (Sir William Collins) who allegedly claimed vaccination causes tuberculosis and other diseases. This reflects early 20th-century anti-vaccination sentiment, though the claims are unfounded. The advertisements include Philip Morris cigarettes and "Old Overhaul Rye" whiskey (depicted with what appears to be period-appropriate imagery of well-dressed men). There is no political cartoon visible on this page—it is essentially a commercial and informational publication page from *Life* magazine.

Over and against eighty persons who have died after having been bitten by a snake (and in all prob- ability most of these deaths were due to the victims being made drunk with whisky), we can place more than 8000 deaths directly due to the injec- tion of vaccine virus into the circula- tion; and on top of this direct death rate from the vicious treatment, all students of the question know that thousands and thousands have been so injured ‘by this form of blood poison- itbaersties LOC AMBASSADOR Seaherdinnersine SIC p ‘ORIGINAL ‘e “Cigarettes SN Incomparable!

The location of the Pennsylvania Station, one block from Broadway, two blocks from Fifth Avenue, is in the heart of the hotel, club and theatre district of Manhattan. Within a short radius are located the majority of the big retail stores and restaurants. The Seventh Avenue surface cars and the Eighth Avenue Surface cars pass its doors; the Thirty-fourth Street surface cars (crosstown) pass its Thirty-fourth Street entrance, and stations of the Sixth Avenue Elevated and Hudson and Manhattan Tubes are a short block from its main entrance. Time tables showing the service to and from the Pennsylvania Station are now being arranged, and may be obtained at Ticket Offices before the open- ing of the Station. Connections will be made at Manhattan Transfer (near Newark) with local trains to and from the downtown stations by way of Jersey City, so that downtown New York passengers who desire may continue to use the Cortlandt and Desbrosses Street Stations and the Hudson Terminal Station of the Hudson and Manhattan Tubes. ing as to cause decline subsequently with scrofula and tuberculosis. Sir William Collins, a very distin- guished phvsician of England, and one of the late King’s doctors, was: once Public Vaccinator, and in resigning that office, wrote this: “ Were I to tell you a tithe of the horrors I have wit- nessed resulting from vaccination, your blood would stand still in your veins. Vaccination gives loathsome disease and is not preventive of smallpox.” Dr. Collins has since stated that “Tuberculosis follows vaccination as effect follows cause.” Cuartes E. Pace, M. D.
