This a most detailed and extensive drawing of the Vickers machine gun a most reliable weapon used by the British army from 1912 during the first World War and continued in use until 1968. <br/><br/>The Vickers machine gun or Vickers gun is a name primarily used to refer to the water-cooled .303 British 7.7 mm machine gun produced by Vickers Limited originally for the British ArmyÂ… It was in service from before the First World War until the 1960s with air-cooled versions of it on many Allied World War I fighter aircraft.The weapon had a reputation for great solidity and reliability. Ian V. Hogg in Weapons & War Machines describes an action that took place in August 1916 during which the British Army's 100th Company of the Machine Gun Corps fired their ten Vickers guns continuously for twelve hours. Using 100 new barrels they fired a million rounds without a single failure. "It was this absolute foolproof reliability which endeared the Vickers to every British soldier who ever fired one."Wikipedia unknown books

19262327New York: Gallia Laboratories Inc. 1926. <br /><br />24mo 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches; 138 x 107 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />Promotional pamphlet for Kola Astier a product possessing "remarkable curative and stimulative properties quite unknown to any other preparation." According to the manufacturer Gallia Laboratories Kola Astier builds muscular strength fights fatigue relieves depression and "melancholia" stimulates the heart and helps in combatting bronchitis pneumonia and "senile debility." It also acts we're told as a "remarkable regenerator" for "tired overworked men and women." <br /><br />Where did this cure for every ailment come from According to the company Dr. P. Astier recognized the amazing properties of the kola nut. "Long before the white man traversed the midnight jungles and the wild plains of mysterious Africa the natives were using the fruit of the Kola Tree to increase their physical stamina and powers of endurance. Finally when the first white explorers forced their way into the heart of the Dark Continent they too soon recognized the value of this gift of the Gods." <br /><br />This text is accompanied by an illustration of spear-wielding African warriors. Other illustrations depict runners an apparently sick office worker and an exhausted home maker. <br /><br />Unfortunately for the company the U.S. Agriculture Department determined that Kola Astier contained no ingredients capable of producing any therapeutic or curative effects claimed by the company. <br /><br />In March 1933 the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey sought the seizure of 199 bottles of Kola Astier Granulated charging misbranding in violation of federal rules. Analysis by the U.S. Agriculture Department showed that the product consisted essentially of sugar 97.3% and small proportions of plant material including kola. A federal district court ordered that the 199 bottles be destroyed. <br /><br />That judgment didn't stop Gallia Laboratories from promoting its miracle cure. In June 1943 the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with making false misleading and deceptive statements about its products. It ordered the company to stop claiming that Kola Astier had any therapeutic value in the treatment of any disorder. <br /><br />This pamphlet is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings. None in commerce. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some staining soiling and a few small nicks to wrappers as well as rusting to staples. But the pages are clean bright and unmarked. A Very Good copy.
