The Golden Age, “If the People Ever Wake Up”

6 February 1929 · p.301 · Woodworth, Knorr & Martin (The Golden Age), Brooklyn, New York

“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.'

Provenance and verification note

Confidence note. Read in the OCR text layer of the archive.org scan on 19 September 2026 on the leaf mapped to printed page 301; the issue contents page (printed page 290) lists 'IF THE PEOPLE EVER WAKE UP ... 301' under 'HOME AND HEALTH'. The page is set in two columns and the OCR interleaves them; the quoted sentences were each read as an unbroken run. Scanner hyphenation closed up.

Scan provenance. Internet Archive item 'golden-age-1929'; page number from the _djvu.xml leaf mapping joined to _page_numbers.json, cross-checked against the issue masthead 'Brooklyn, N. Y., Wednesday, February 6, 1929 ... Number 245' and the running heads reading 'FEBRUARY 6, 1929' on the neighbouring leaves.

Notes. The issue names Clayton J. Woodworth as editor and Woodworth, Knorr & Martin as copartners and proprietors.
