Yes. It’s yet another reprint of a recent reprint!
Some people claimed a few weeks ago that they didn’t understand it. Other readers – including myself – explained that Aunt Fritzi knows that poor Nancy will make herself ill by gorging of five dollars worth of candy and that it is five dollars in the 1950s. Nancy is going to make herself very ill.
If this was 70 years ago, it would be like finding a $50 today. Of course, depending on which part of which city you find it in, you might want to just leave it there :)

Is that an enema bag?

Obviously she knows old Nance is going to pig out. And back then $5.00 could buy almost endless candy and such.

Nancy showing up in panel #3 while invisible is rather impressive!
