Despite the protest of the federal commissioner of health against the interference of Julius Streicher, Germany’s anti-Semite No. 1, in the field of medicine with his anti-Jewish propaganda, Streicher, encouraged by Hitler’s visit to him last week, today again published a warning that the entire system of using serums for the prevention and cure of disease “is nothing but a wicked Jewish plot.”
The system of serumology is a wicked plot of the Jews to poison German blood with injections, Streicher’s publication contends. The leading practitioners who use serums are either Jews or tools in the hands of Jews, the paper charges.
