This document is over 100 years old, and definitely in public domain.

Scanned from a history book on the subject Boxer Rebellion.

The document is written in Chinese. Its contents mean (briefly):

Guizi (foreign ghosts) forgot their ancestors and have no respect for the gods
male and female Christians know no ethics
foreigners are born from incests, claiming that their eyes are blue as the "proof"
the churches in China are reasons for the drought
the boxer's can drive the foreigners out since they have special divine powers
it is not difficult to drive the foreigners out, just destroy the railrays and the telegraph poles
destroy the steamboats, and France, England, United States, Germany and Russia will tremble
get rid of the foreigners and Qing will rule the country again.

Traditional Chinese in 1924:

神助拳 義和團 只因鬼子鬧中原 勸奉教 只信天
不信神 忘祖先 男無倫  女行姦 鬼孩俱是子母產
如不信 仔細觀 鬼子眼珠俱發藍 天無雨 地焦旱
全是教堂阻住天 神發怒 仙發怒 一同下山把道傳
非是邪 非白蓮 念咒語 法真言 升黃表 敬香烟
請下各洞諸神先 仙出洞 神下山 附著人體把拳傳
兵法藝 都學全 要平鬼子不費難 拆鐵道 拔線桿
緊急毀壞大輪船 大法國 心膽寒 英美德俄盡消然
洋鬼子 盡除完 大清一統靖江山
