Seen and Heard in a Vaccination Plant[..].
Little, Lora C. Seen and Heard in a Vaccine Plant with some Reflections Thereon [caption title]. (Chicago: American Medical Liberty League), [ca. 1919-1929?]. Unbound trifold brochure, approx. 6.75 x 5 inches, unfolds to 6 pages. First edition. “All this suspicious quizzing and reluctance to admit a visitor stood out in sharp contrast to my experience in visiting factories where such useful articles as flour and shoes are made.” From the longtime anti-vaccine editor and activist Lora C. Little; after her son died in 1896 after a mandatory smallpox vaccination, Little became the editor of The Liberator of Medical Thought in Minneapolis through 1906, traveled in England, and returned to the U.S. to live in Portland, Oregon in 1911, where she opened a natural health school and became a political opponent to forced sterilization. After her arrest in 1917 for violating the Espionage Act (she encouraged soldiers to protest mandatory vaccinations) she became Secretary to the American Medical Liberty League and produced polemics and exposés such as this. Not found on OCLC. Some light browning; old horizontal crease; in very good condition.
