What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and charitable fundraising content**, not political satire. The main elements are: 1. **Forhan's and Resinol ads** (left side): vintage patent medicine advertisements claiming to prevent/cure tooth decay and skin problems through oral hygiene and ointments. These represent early 20th-century medical marketing common to the era. 2. **Life's Fresh Air Fund** (center): a charitable appeal listing donations to send poor city children on vacations to the country. The fund had operated 34 years and raised over $191,000—a legitimate charitable endeavor. 3. **Jim Henry's Column** (right): Henry humorously discusses his discovery that Kora-Konia (appears to be a powder product) relieves skin irritation, written in an endorsement style. The accompanying illustration shows the product. 4. **"Time Flies" joke** (bottom): A brief married couple exchange about clothes. The page contains **no political cartoons or satire**—it's a mix of period advertising, charitable fundraising, and light humor typical of Life magazine's editorial content.

Wire: But, my dear, that was last week. 31 Jim Henrys Column Iam Going into the Sampling Business A few weeks ago I used my column to tell men what marvelous relief from chafing and skin friction they could enjoy by using Kora-Konia. And in my free handed way, having discovered a small case of physicians’ samples, I offered to send a sample for 15_cents. If many more men send in for samples of Kora-Konia, we will have to build a special factory to pack samples. But we are glad to go to any reasonable expense to prove to a man the amazing virtue of Mennen Kora-Konia to relieve almost any form of skin irritation. I remember one man in particular. He was a big, bulging chap, by nature cheery and mild mannered, but take him on for golf on a hot day, or to the ball game, and he would begin to squirm and shudder like a kid just put into winter flannels, and act ornery the whole afternoon. Of course, I can’t go into intimate anatomical details in a polite family magazine, but the plain truth is that the man became raw the minute flesh was rubbed. So one day in the locker room I made him shake on some Kora-Konia wherever it would do the most good. The big point about Kora-Konia is that it stays put— isn’t washed away by perspiration. He thought it was silly—said his case was too serious for any dinky baby powder. (Everyone thinks Kora-Konia is a talcum until they learn better.) But after the game I thought he would kiss me. Said it was the first time in twenty years he had been comfortable in hot weather and vowed the whole medical profession wouldn’t have done more perspiring —soothing, healing, cooling and antiseptic, Miraculous for sunburn. Send 15 cents for a big sample. (Mennen Salesman) THe Mennen Company Newarn, fV.J. USA. comicbooks.com
