A sensational charge that German Jewish doctors are trying to poison the German people by prescribing narcotics such as aspirin, veronol and pyramidon for their German patients, was made here today by the magazine Der Brunnen, published in Dusseldorf.
The periodical, which advocates the use of only “natural” cures, declared that the Jewish physicians are treating their Jewish patients with natural remedies, but treat Germans with harmful drugs.
The “Elders of Zion” began this diabolical campaign of secret poisoning, Der Brunnen stated, because the drug factories are owned by Jews. The magazine overlooked the fact that the principal drug manufacturing firm in Germany, I. G Farben, is owned by Aryans.
