What you’re looking at
This page contains **primarily advertisements** rather than editorial cartoons, though one small illustration appears. **Buffalo Lithia Springs Water ad** (top): A medical testimonial advertisement citing three doctors endorsing the mineral water's therapeutic benefits for gout, rheumatism, and kidney ailments—standard early-20th-century patent medicine marketing using credentialed physicians. **Small illustration** (center-left): Shows a woman at a desk writing a letter. The caption reveals a humorous domestic scene where she's clarifying that her previous letter—saying she'd *changed her mind about not changing her mind*—was sincere. This illustrates marital miscommunication through intentionally confusing double-negatives. **"A Word to the Conservative"** (right): An essay addressing men skeptical of women's suffrage, arguing that voting won't make wives less loving or transform "sweet, lovable women" into harsh businesswomen. It defends working women against stereotypes. **Carstairs Whiskey ad** (bottom-right): Standard liquor advertisement emphasizing the brand's age and quality. The page reflects early-suffrage-era debates and period attitudes toward women and work.

Challenges comparison with any other known mineral water in the world on its record of results Dr. Roserts BartHotow, Professor Emeritus of Materia Medica, General Thera- eutics, etc., Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, said, in “Practical Treatise on Materia Medica and Therapeutics,” 1899, that Buffalo Lithia Water “contains well- defined traces of lithia and is alkaline. It has been used with great advantage in gouty, rheumatic and renal affections.” Dr. Georce Ben Jounston, Richmond, Va., ex-President Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association, ex-President Medical Society of Virginia, and Professor of Gynecology and Abdominal Surrey, Medical College of Virginia, says: “When lithia is indicated, I prescribe Buffalo Lithia Water in preference to the salts of lithia, because it is therapeutically superior to laboratory preparations of lithia,, lithia tablets, etc. Epwarb M. E1puerr, M. D., Ph. D., Ch. D., Ph.

I was only joking when I wrote you that T didn't mean what I said about reconsidering my decision not to change my mind. I really mean this. A Word tothe Conservative HEER up, you conservatives! Lady-suffrage is coming; sure! But don’t Ict that worry you. Brighten up, you men conservatives! What—— you want a “womanly woman?” Bless you; having a vote is not going to make your wife love you any the less, or maltreat the babies! Perhaps she may never want to be a police- man! You never have been, and queer things do happen. There are going to be just as many sweet, lovable women in the world as ever. If your peculiar and original brain, O bachelor, cannot appreciate the executive type of woman, maybe it never did. She has been here all the while. You needn't marry her. Let her accomplish the work for which she is fitted, and which she en- joys doing. There are not so very many purely executive men. Quite likely she wouldn't have you anyway. Your type makes no appeal to her. The business woman is cold and hard? Nonsense! You have been erying out for the past decade that the “pore woikin’ goil” has been made love to—honorably and other- wise—to her great disadvantage.
