What you’re looking at
This page primarily contains **advertisements and opinion columns** rather than political satire. The most substantive content is a satirical cartoon captioned "Did you ever see such manners?" which mocks a domestic servant's poor behavior by blaming her employer—"a militant suffragette." This is **anti-suffrage satire**: the joke implies that women advocating for voting rights are so radical and disruptive that they cannot even maintain proper household discipline. It reflects early 20th-century opposition to women's suffrage, portraying suffragettes as destabilizing influences on social order. Below this is an opinion-wanted ad sarcastically soliciting "bright, sparkling, profound" opinions from wealthy men lacking intelligence—social commentary on plutocracy. The remainder comprises product advertisements (Rigaud talcum powder, Victor Hugo book sets) and a section titled "Deadly Science" questioning the safety of cow-pox vaccination, reflecting era-specific vaccine skepticism. The page reflects **pre-WWI American anxieties**: women's rights activism and early vaccine hesitancy.

Abbott, of Los Angeles, says in the California Eclectic Med- ical Journal, May, in part: “Cancer was practically unknown cow-pox vaccination began to be introduced. It is certainly about time to study out the possible con- nection between the two. “T have had to do with many cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated per- son,” AX? the filthy old practice compulsory ! “DID YOU EVER SEE SUCH MANNERS?” “WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Gentlemen with more means than brains would like to Vf communicate with party who could furnish him reliable opinions from time to time. These opinions must be bright, sparkling, profound, original and dis- tinctive, and yet they must not be harmful or in any way calculated to hurt the feelings of the most sensitive banker, the most devout minister, or the most narrow-minded business man. These opinions must deal with important and vital questions exclusively, and show how conflicts, now waging in,the United States, may be settled to the advantage of both sides without in any wise injuring either.
