Rotten to the core
Uncle Sam is ailing with a toothache labeled “Mormonism!” He sits on a chair in the office of “Washington Dental Association” offering “S.S. Cox’s Laughing Gas – Mild & Harmless,” as two arms labeled “Senate” and “House Representatives” reach toward him. One hand holds a pair of pliers labeled “Heroic Measures.” Caption: Uncle Sam – “I suppose I’ve got to have the derned thing out – only, pull it easy!”
