What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. The main content includes: 1. **"Mum" deodorant ad** (left): Promotes a perspiration odor neutralizer for hot weather, priced at 25 cents. 2. **"Don't Risk It!" poem** (left): A humorous cautionary verse about the superstitions surrounding walking under ladders, sitting thirteen at table, and other folk omens—likely satirizing people's irrational beliefs. 3. **Waltham Automobile Timepieces ad** (right): Showcases a car dashboard clock, emphasizing precision engineering for automobiles. 4. **Old Overholt Rye whiskey ad** (bottom left): Markets the liquor as approved by connoisseurs for 100 years. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture, product marketing, and contains a mild satirical poem about superstition rather than political commentary.

If people who are run over or banged into in Ma: usetts shall h fter be permitted to select their own doctors, where is the thing going to end? Suppose, for example, the patient should select an osteopath? Why not have an arrangement between the doctors and the undertakers, along the lines of the greatest efficiency? By working together and developing a proper spirit of . co-operation it ought to be possible to produce greater profits out of the American people than at present. ~comicbooks.com
