What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct sections: 1. **"The Manor" advertisement** (upper left): A real estate ad for Albemarle Park in England, unrelated to satire. 2. **"The Game of Spades"** (left column): Social commentary on how calling a spade a spade has become taboo. The writer argues that people avoid direct language for politeness, but notes that imaginative character-writing is more effective than explicit emotional description. This critiques modern social convention around blunt speech. 3. **"Anything to Oblige"** (top right): A humorous anecdote about a man with a facial scar resembling a question mark, joking about its resemblance to Broadway theater. The satire targets absurd resemblance-spotting and theater aesthetics. The remainder features health literature advertising for Paradise Spring water, unrelated to satire.

When first we read the above, it turned over and over in our mind. Finally, it fell right off on a subway platform. Saw a man with a scar on his face like a question mark,” we informed a liveried attendant of the Interborough. “Yeah,” replied the guard, much to our delicate surprise. “I must a did it.” “You!” we exclaimed. “How?” “Well,” he said, was rush hour —see? This guy comes along with one of them di’mond tie pins shaped like a Monthly, question mark—see? Great big thing —looked like the front of a Broadway local. ‘Gee,’ sez I to meself, ‘that looks dangerous, a big hunka glass like that runnin’ around loose.’ So kinda to prove it to meself, when they was all millin’ to get into a express, I shoved another guy’s face into it. I guess I was right. They oughtn't to wear them things.” kk OF And there’s your story. H.W. H. Articular Rheumatism The following intensely interesting case was de- scribed in a recent issue of a well-known medical journal, the name of which will be sent to anyone on request. “A patient came to me some time ago, who had long suffered from an arthritis deformans (a type of articu- lar rheumatism,) which especially in- volved the right hand, “The joints had enlarged and the fingers contracted until the hand was practically useless. The patient had been to numerous Baths and Spas without benefit, and had also taken many kinds of internal and external treat- ment with equally unsatisfactory results. “TI prescribed the copious daily drinking of Paradise Water, from Paradise Spring, Maine. This water is remarkable in that it is practically mineral free. Thus its constant se tends to gradually decrease the calcareous (lime) deposits in the joints. “The patient drank Paradise Water, ex- clusively and in large quantities, over a period of many months, and considerable improvement occurred. The enlarged joints decreased in size, the contraction of the fin- gers lessened, and the hand became at last partially useful.” If you are suffering from Articular Rheumatism (arthritis in its various forms) try Paradise Jater—it will help you!
