Bok, influential editor of the&nbsp;<em>Ladies&#8217; Home Journal<\/em>&nbsp;in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.&nbsp; The LHJ was one of the first important magazines to stop running patent medicine ads.&nbsp; Bok worked with Will Irwin and Samuel Hopkins Adams to publish a series of important muckraking articles on the &#8220;patent medicine curse.&#8221;&nbsp; This series uncovered many of the secret recipes formulas and listed ingredients, which often included alcohol or various narcotics.&nbsp; In his position as the editor of this influential women&#8217;s magazine, Bok was able to promote reform effectively.&nbsp; LHJ was a prime outlet for advertising geared toward women. The study illuminates some of Bok&#8217;s other crusades, as well as highlighting the limits of his activism.&nbsp; Bok, for example, did not support women&#8217;s suffrage.&nbsp; See also Chapter 30 of Bok&#8217;s autobiography,&nbsp;<em>The Americanization of Edward Bok<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stillings, Dennis, and Nancy Roth.&nbsp; &#8220;When&nbsp;Electroquackery&nbsp;Thrived.&#8221;&nbsp;<em>IEEE Spectrum<\/em>&nbsp;15 (November 1978): 56-61.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stump, Tyler S.\u00a0 \u201cMore Than Luck: Lucky Strike Advertising During the George Washington Hill Years, 1926-1946.\u201d\u00a0 PhD dissertation, University of Maryland, 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarulevicz, Nicole, J.J.
