The Philistine, December 1895, rings with bold, independent voices on health, society, and living wisely.
This issue presents a mix of essays, satire, and editorials from the Roycroft circle. It questions medical certainty, examines public policy, and offers practical, pointed reflections on everyday life. Readers will find candid discussions about vaccination, the role of doctors, and the impact of religious and political power on ordinary people.
- Thoughtful critiques of medical authority and public health ideas
- Social commentary on taxation, church influence, and personal liberty
- Wry, practical takes on work, time, and character in daily life
- Poems and short pieces that blend humor with pointed observations
Ideal for readers drawn to late 19th‑century reform-minded thought and the spirit of the Roycroft movement.
