Puck to Nemesis: These proud edifices have helped to rear that one! Your task is not yet completed

J. Keppler's full-page *Puck* cartoon stages a moral indictment across a recognizable New York streetscape. A towering allegorical Nemesis—crowned, robed, sword in hand—looms over a small, impish Puck figure who gestures toward the New York Herald building. On the right, a Herald advertising column lists medical notices and 'Personals,' the classified categories *Puck* targets. A crumpled newspaper lies at Puck's feet. The caption accuses the Herald and the *Staatszeitung* of profiting from advertisements placed by abortionists (the oblique reference to 'Madame Restell' and 'female doctors') and by salacious personal notices. The cartoon argues that respectable-looking commercial architecture launders moral corruption—that newspaper revenue from such ads makes editors complicit. Nemesis is summoned to finish the job the courts have not.
