Captain Billy's Whiz Bang #3 — page 33: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains three brief satirical observations rather than illustrated cartoons. The main content mocks a dubious medical fad: a "monkey gland" rejuvenation procedure supposedly developed by a Paris scientist. The text sarcastically suggests attaching monkey gland tissue to aging men to restore youth and vitality—a real (fraudulent) treatment that circulated in the 1920s. The satire targets gullible "old-timers" desperate to recapture youth, warning them to "place your gland orders early." The final quip criticizes business competitors as motivation for success. The page exemplifies *Whiz Bang*'s cynical humor about contemporary medical quackery and age-anxiety, reflecting 1920s skepticism toward dubious rejuvenation therapies promoted to the wealthy and desperate.
