Watchtower's magazine editor Clayton Woodworth recommended smoking in the "Golden Age" magazine. 10/25 1933 "...infeebled constitutions inherited from fashionable mothers cannot stand up under Tabbaco." {Translation= Only a pussy doesn't Smoke} He prefered a pipe until 1951 when he had his voicebox removed due to throat cancer...months later he died. Ironic that he recommended some of the most bizzar medical treatments in Jehovahs magazine, while promoting smoking as "manly."
E.g G.A 2/10 1926 p.310 " Air Baths are good for preventing Colds...strip naked in the morning and bob up and down for awhile..." {good way to catch cold}
Also he was very very wierd! He refered to himself as "the Canvasser" and often in the third person. {See Yearbook 85 p.228} E.g Regarding himself he would say: "The Canvasser delivered his speech today..." Wierdo!
