The Golden Age, “If the People Ever Wake Up”
“If the people ever wake up and come to the conclusion that the true way to health is by route of proper food, fresh air, pure water, healthful exercise, honest occupation, correct thinking and, above all, a knowledge and reverence of Jehovah, and not by the route of drugs and serums, it is surely going to bring some needed lessons to many persons now in the medical business.”
An unsigned item printed under the magazine's 'Home and Health' heading, defending a New Hampshire father jailed for refusing to have his son vaccinated. It ends: 'Just now the M.D.'s are drunk with power, drunk and swaying.'
