President Roosevelt and William H. Taft attend a man labeled “General Prosperity.” There are “Roosevelt policies” and “bumper crops” on the side table. William Jennings Bryan sticks his head in the window and holds a box: “Doc Bryan’s hard times nostrums.” Caption: Old Doc. Bryan–You need my services. Gen. Prosperity–No, thanks; I have a good doctor and a fine nurse and I will fully recover after November 3d.
