Whether Mr.. Chamberlain knows of the Goteborg

Drugless Healing

This letter is to solicit your
kind consideration on the side
of drugleSs healing and against
vivisection; and to tell you,
that after extensive experience
with both medical and drugless
healing I am very much in
favor of the drugless method.
Statistical reports show that
people are turning from medi.
cine by the thousands every
year, and this right is as
precious to humanity as re-
ligiouS liberty.
I hope that you and your
paper stockholders and en-
ployes), will use your influence
for public opinion on the side
of drugless healing and against
vivisection, vaccines and serums,
whenever it is possible to do so.
1t is not a matter of vivisec-
ton or humanity but viviSection
and humanity. Whenever your
dear ones, friends, relatives and
family go to the hospital for
care and attention, these same
experiments are practiced on
them to see how they will react
on humans, as has been ad-
mitted; and a very definite re-
search has shown that nothing
has been benefited by this in
humane and torturouS method.
We anti-viviSectionists and
medical freedom advocates are
not a bunch of idiots and
cranks, but wideawake. edu.

vised to read collective Secur-
ity to the tenth degree"
The practice of so-called demo
cratic countries of sticking their
heads in the ground like an oS-
trich while bullets go whizzing
by will do us no good.
Had Britain, France and the
States taken real firm stand
against Italy'S Ethiopia con-
quest, you must admit that Italy
would have been forced to back
down. Same as to Hitler'S re-
militarization of the Rhineland;
same as to Japan and China.
Before it is too late, let the
democracies act collectively to
protect their security in this
cock-eyed world-and let us lift
the Spanish embargo before an
other Fascist power is born.
