‎Monkeys Superiority Over Man and Only Socialists Make Good Health Officers‎

‎n.p.: the author 191-. 8p. staplebound pamphlet 5x8.25 inches very good but for personal ownership stamp of Eugene D'Aumont Cote inside front cover and on last page. Undated but published while WWI was still raging. The author describes himself as a State Board of Health Medical Inspector a recipient of the highest honor ever given for scholarship at Michigan University with "well known socialistic views." The first essay imagines a conversation between the primatologist Richard Garner and a monkey in which the monkey lambasts humans for their barbarity in the first World War. "Some men claim that he has descended from the monkey. This is a vile slander. We are unwilling to admit that monkeys ever gave rise to so degraded a progeny." "We monkeys have not invented religions nor do we have states armies nor navies but live in peace contentment and happiness." The second essay argues that "All the plans devised by thinking men for the improvement of the public health are socialistic that is they look to the city state or nation performing its duty of protecting the health and lives of its citizens rather than the business of the doctors and undertakers.". the author unknown books‎
