A Happy and Prosperous
New Year to All My
Jewish Friends
The Jewish Method Of
Slaughtering
By DR. ISRAEL FELDMAN,
Demonstrator of Physiology; London Hospital Medical College.
HEART OF THE JEW
By ANNA FRADA
Through sanguinary hate's relentless
heart,
Through inquisition's baleful art,

sun
Till man with love for man lw won,
The Jew and Jew at heart are one.
