The Eclectic Medical Journal PDF Download

Excerpt from The California Eclectic Medical Journal, 1913, Vol. 6: Incorporating the Los Angeles Journal of Eclectic Medicine and the California Medical Journal In times gone by, when I was a boy in Kentucky, I knew slaves, 'live slaves, the slaves of live people. I would rather, today, be a slave back in Kentucky, in the way the blacks were then in bondage to the whites, and hae a live 'master, who could think and move and reason, than to be the slave of a pile of dead material.' The slave of a mighty building of brick and mor tar, or the slave of bonds and stocks and other inanimate substances that come from the printing press, and of which, the more some people possess, is the most despicable, pitiable and helpless form of slavery. I think, if you look about this city of Los Angeles, you will find many men thus slaves to dead matter, wearing their bodies out, subject to bondage to great buildings or banks or other forms of inanimate material. Millionaires they may think themselves, and yet they are slaves to franchises, and slaves to dead gold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
