Social Welfare?13. [proselytizing][ medicine][ communism][ Hitler][ social welfare][ euthanasia][ Veteran'sAdministration][ government] A. Fitz Roy Anderson. Communism Controls our Medical Schools Fight On. The Health Committee. New York. [1947]. A 16 pp booklet, railing on "organizedmedicine" and various,somewhat controversial, medical practices such as euthanasia, vaccination,and cancer drugs. While the pamphlet loudly insists that communism is controlling our medicalschools and professionals, at the same time it also makes the contradictory statements that Hitler andthe "German Chemical Companies" are to blame, as well as our current government. The booklet waswritten by Alfred Fitz Roy Anderson (1882-1965), who claimed to have "brought into existence theVeterans' Bureau, now The Veterans' Administration", though there is littleevidence of this beyond his own claims. He was a founding member of theCitizen Committee of America, though, again there is no direct evidence thatthis committee was directly responsible for the VA beyond Anderson'sunsubstantiated claims. The booklet itself extolls on the harmful effects ofvaccines and current cancer treatments. It brings up a series of 'evidence' fortheir claims, specifically mentioning the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic, then located inDallas, TX (which was offering a high controversial unproven herbal cancercure all that still is around today). Next the booklet insists doctors, particularlythose in New York, are advocating for Euthanasia and its legalization- mainlyas a tool to destroy evidence of their own medical malpractice in regards tocancer treatments and vaccinations. The front cover has a black and whiteillustration of a stylized Lady Liberty knighting what appears to be a WWIveteran, with the caption, "Well Done Fighter". The back cover has a black andwhite illustration of a baby with a bastardized version of the Serenity Pray, which states "God give melife- Save me from those who would pollute my blood with vaccine, virus, and power drugs and destroy my bodywith x-ray, radium and excessive surgery that I may not die by Euthanasia." Below are several additionale-list 6814ephemera@eclectibles.com

excerpts from the booklet in order to illustrate the full breath of Anderson's claims about "organizedmedicine":"Importance note. If through the exercise of unconstitutional power, you are forced to submit to vaccination,immediately swab out vaccination with lemon juice, and you need have no further concern, except as a citizen ofthe U.S.A., to fight to regain your inalienable right against assault.""It is apparent that conscience stricken doctors have become jittery at the sight of so many failures in the use oftheir medical drugs, vaccines, virus, etc. so, en masse, in a hysterical display of sympathy for the increasinghopeless condition of their patients, they offer Euthanasia, as a very practical solution of their difficulties. Overthere, the Germans who used Euthanasia were convicted of murder, but over here, the doctors chant in unison,as if it were a glorious swan song, the Euthanasia dirge, to save face.""The council bodies of our churches are loaded down and too often controlled by the minions of organizedmedicine, seeking to inculcate and sanctify methods of medical therapy, which if better understood would befound more suitable for to the dark ages. the thoughts and actions of the followers of the healing Christ arebeing ,molded and warped by the money, and might, and subtle persuasion of the agents of organized medicine.""An insidious 'Red' Control is undermining the health of our nation.""Hitler said that the battle against America would be won from within. Why did he say this? Because he knewthe power and ability of the German chemical companies and the interlocking relationship which existedbetween them and the great chemical and drug houses in America. Hitler knew that they were working hand inglove together. Hitler chuckled and pranced, when he said, 'Leave it to Farben.' . whether it is Hitler orcommunism, call it what you may, there is a supreme, pervading influence in this country which is seeking todestroy us, body and soul.

This booklet is the1918 yearly report of a New York charity called Babies' Wards Post-Graduate Hospital. During WWI,a lot of local charities were just as hard up for cash as their overseas counterparts and as such thebooklet starts with "America is pouring out her wealth to help the Government to insure victory. Sheis raising millions upon millions for the Red Cross and War Charities; thousands, nay tens ofthousands of her women are giving their whole time and hearts to alleviate the conditions of men,who are to fight our battles; while the flood of sympathy and relief being poured for the women andchildren abroad is almost incalculable. we are just now reaching the point when the very existenceof our Home Charities is most gravely menaced, and that unless this community considers mostseriously at once it local obligations with regard to relief, to welfare, and to hospital work, thegreatest suffering of many is in sight. The time has come when the suffering is at our very doorscannot be laid aside 'till the war is over' as we hear frequently suggested, but must be met at once."In addition to this plea for help, the yearly report contains the statistics of the babies helped that year,reports from a visiting nurse, Clothing Committee, Junior Auxiliary Committee, Babies Ward Guild,Social Services Committee of the Babies' Wards, and Social Service Committee, as well as the financialreport
