What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct elements: **Left side:** A diamond jewelry advertisement from Jason Weiler & Son (Boston), offering direct mail-order diamonds at various carats and prices. Below it is satirical commentary titled "Stubs from Within"—brief humorous observations about human nature (surgeons compared to pelicans, theories likened to drunks, etc.). **Right side:** A Standard Oil Company advertisement for Nujol, a laxative product. The image shows an elderly person, illustrating the ad's message about preventing constipation in old age. The advertisement emphasizes that proper diet and Nujol can prevent bowel problems. The page is primarily **commercial advertising** with light satirical filler text. There are no political cartoons or identifiable caricatures of public figures. The "Growing Old Gracefully" ad reflects early 20th-century marketing about health and aging.

There are fashions in surgery, just as there are in morals, millinery, religion and war boats, They are just as transi- tory and just as bizarre. . The longer a surgeon practices surgery the more shy he becomes of venturing predictions. Great ingenuity is often employed in avoiding the explicit. There are two ways to injure the rep- utation of surgery. One is to slander it. Another and worse way is to exploit it purely for profit. The man who is going GROWING after surgical fees, as a byccaneer goes after a laden galleon, should fly the black flag of piracy in Wall Street. —Dr. J. Chalmers Da Costa in New York Medical Journal. Assistant (to old lady who has hand- ed in a badly spelled telegram): What's this word, please? Oup Lavy: Never mind that, miss; it’s none of your business. They'll know at the other end.—Passing Show. OLD GRACEFULLY The key to health in old age is the prevention of bowel disorder.’ Constipation, which becomes more and more chronic with advane- ing years, frequently makes the burden of old age seem heavy indecd. Yet in most cases constipation can be entirely prevented by a little care in the matter of diet and by supplying in Nujol an efficient substi- tute for the mucus which exhausted nature no longer provides. Nujol is not a bowel stimulant, It acts as an internal lubricant, softening the contents of the intestines and so promoting normal evacuations. Your druggist has Nojol. Avoid substitutes. Nujol is sold only in pint bottles bearing the Nujol trademark, Lae STANDARD OIL COMPANY Stabs from Within Chen, teresa? ; 3 i Bayonne New Jersey A fashionable surgeon, like a pelican, can be recognized by the size of his bill Now and then a very learned article or lecture increases the sum total of hu: man ignorance.
