Do you want some?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a charming and witty cartoon by H.M. Bateman, published in 1915, offers a delightful take on the recent discovery of Reading Bacillus by Leonard Joyce and its potential impact on the human spirit, particularly on pessimists. The image depicts a doctor in a military uniform, holding a syringe filled with a substance labeled "Merry Christmas Bacilli," approaching a pessimistic patient lying in bed at the home front. The patient, with a scowl on his face, asks, "Do you want some?" as if challenging the doctor's intentions. The discovery of Reading Bacillus, a new way of healing wounds, was a significant development during the First World War. Bateman's cartoon cleverly suggests that this new treatment will not only heal physical wounds but also have the effect of curing the pessimists and giving them reason for optimism. The doctor's cheerful expression and the festive label on the syringe add to the optimistic tone of the image. The cartoon is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and ability to find hope even in the most challenging times. The image also highlights the importance of medical advancements during the war and their impact on the morale of soldiers and civilians alike. H.M. Bateman's "Do you want some?" is a historical treasure that captures the spirit of the era and offers a lighthearted perspective on the human condition. The cartoon is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring appeal of optimism in the face of adversity.
