What you’re looking at

This page is dominated by a **Dioxogen advertisement** (a hydrogen peroxide disinfectant product) rather than political satire. The main illustration shows a druggist/pharmacist addressing a female customer about the product's labeling and reliability. The ad's pitch emphasizes that Dioxogen contains no acetanilid (a pain reliever), distinguishing it from competitors. The quote stresses that doctors value "confidence" in remedies—a common early 20th-century advertising appeal to authority and product reliability. Below, a brief section titled "Why Not?" discusses George Bernard Shaw's suggestion for English censorship, apparently criticizing clergy's resistance to modern ideas. This brief commentary represents the magazine's typical satirical editorial voice rather than a cartoon. The page also advertises **Calox Oxygen Toothpowder**, a separate product.
