LYDSTON, G. FRANK M.D. — That Bogey Man the Jew

Kansas City, Missouri: Burton Publishing Company Publishers, 1921. First Edition. Hardcover. "I have written this little volume in the faith that, in the last analysis, the average American citizen believes in fair play and is not afraid of shadows, or of Bogey Men. I have tried to be judicial in both defense and criticism of the Jew, but if I have shown some acerbity in my criticisms of his detractors, the justice of the cause which this book represents, and the illiberality and unfairness of the latest attack upon the Jew must be my apology." - Introduction. "If our critic really is concerned about 'menaces' to our great and glorious country, let him tackle the Negro problem." - page 96. "Dr. Lydston's book is a welcome addition to the defensive literature which the recent unwarranted attack upon the Jew has called forth. It should be given the widest possible cerculation, especially among non-Jews." - The Denver Jewish News, 2 November 1921. G. Frank Lydston (1858-1923) was an American urologist and transplant surgeon who wrote many books, most dealing with medicine. [7]-136 pages.
