The Wasp — 1894 — page 396: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not editorial content or political satire. It contains multiple patent medicine and health product advertisements typical of late 19th/early 20th-century American magazines, including Scott's Emulsion (cod-liver oil), Epps's Cocoa, and various "cures" for female ailments and digestive issues. The single cartoon titled **"No Skeleton There"** appears to be a humorous domestic scene showing a doctor examining a patient while the husband watches—likely joking about marital finances or health concerns, though the specific satirical point is unclear without additional context. The page reflects the era's unregulated patent medicine industry and magazines' heavy reliance on such advertising revenue.
