A Warning About Smoking

Oct. 24, 1909, Industrial Independence
“Industrial Independence” is a code phrase for “no unions.”

Oct. 24, 1909, Tyrant in White

Oct. 24, 1909: The Times recommends “The Tyrant in White,” promising: "There are no long rambling lectures or sermons in its pages. The characters do their own talking. They are boys who grow up into young men and they talk exactly as schoolboys talk, as baseball players talk, and as young men whose fancies 'lightly turn to thoughts of love' talk, too."

Copies of “The Tyrant in White” sell for hundreds of dollars – if you can find them. But you can read it online for free, thanks to Archive.org.

    Yeah… they already knew in 1909..?
    How many years in this ‘much more modern era’ they’ve said that there was no (sufficient) proof of harmfull effects..?
    Conclusion: this modern era can be dominated by extensive corporate medical fraud.
