The magazine attacked the evil from every angle. It aroused the public by showing the actual contents of some of their pet medicines, or the absolute worthlessness of them. The Editor got the Women's Christian Temperance Union into action against the periodicals for publishing advertisements of medicines containing as high as forty per cent alcohol. He showed that the most confidential letters written by women with private ailments were opened by young clerks of both sexes, laughed at and gossiped over, and that afterward their names and addresses, which they had been told were held in the strictest confidence, were sold to other lines of business for five cents each. He held the religious press up to the scorn of church members for accepting advertisements which the publishers knew and which he proved to be not only fraudulent, but actually harmful. He called the United States Post Office authorities to account for accepting and distributing obscene circular matter.

白话
杂志从多个角度打击假药之害：公布某些“神药”的真实成分，证明它们毫无价值；推动基督教妇女禁酒联合会反对刊登含酒精高达40%的药品广告；揭露女性写给药品商的私密病情信被年轻职员拆看、嘲笑、八卦，姓名地址还被以每个五分钱卖给其他行业；批评宗教媒体明知广告欺诈有害仍照登；还要求邮政部门解释为何投递淫秽宣传品。核心是：要撼动一个利益链，不能只骂产品，要同时曝光成分、渠道、隐私、媒体和监管各环节，让公众看到整个系统的问题，形成多方压力。
上下文
博克在《妇女家庭杂志》上发起对专利药品广告的全面调查，涉及成分造假、隐私泄露和媒体共谋。
