Glasgow: The Strickland Press, 1945. First edition. Plain, saddle-stapled wrappers printed in black; 12 pp. The Duke of Bedford expounds on the futility of continuing the war (WWII) while expressing pro-German sentiments: "Just as the Germans, instead of being granted a share of the world's economic resources proportionate to their needs and numbers, are to be herded and confined within even narrower territorial limits than before, so the Japanese are to be compelled to live or starve within the too-restricted limits of their rocky islands." The Duke of Bedford, previously Lord Tavistock, was a noted ornithologist and naturalist who became an ardent supporter of Social Credit. His economic reformist tendencies informed his pacifism, which is the subject of this pamphlet.

He went to great lengths to… Read More

An advertising circular for Dr. Drake's (opium-based) German Croup Remedy, an elixir first made by a newspaperman, Leonard Glessner, in his home in 1889.

Although the medicine was touted as safe and never to sicken, a Dr. J. A. Palmer wrote a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1907 reporting a case "in which death was directly attributable to "Dr Drake's Germany Cough Remedy." It was also explicitly mentioned in a Dr. Kebler's report before Congress in 1909 on medicinal preparations that contained habit-forming drugs. In alarmist languague, the recto describes the frightening onset of croup and the medicine's miraculous and instantaneous cure while the verso… Read More
