What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and notices** from an 1890 San Francisco publication, not political satire or editorial cartoon. The prominent advertisements include: - Real estate auction notices for Presideo Heights properties - Patent medicine ads (Radam's Microbe Killer Company, Shaw's Pectoral Syrup) - Various San Francisco business notices The small editorial section titled "THAT'S SO!" mocks doctors and druggists for endorsing Radam's Microbe Killer, claiming it fraudulently uses "science" to deceive patients. The satire targets medical quackery and false advertising—common during this patent medicine era. No identifiable political figures or specific cartoon illustrations are visible on this page.
