193359072New York: The Macaulay Co. 1933. 8vo. 310 pp. Illustrated title numerous photo plates. Beige publisher’s cloth brown lettering & palm tree front cover edgewear & rubbing to lower fore-edge occasional light toning w/ d.j. salacious cover art by Guischard of the good doctor injecting comely nude African maiden on front cover photo of “author†on spine minor dustsoiling creasing and minor chipping to lower right corner front cover still VG/VG- copy. First American edition of this very popular work in the United States published simultaneously in the UK as Junglemania: Exploring the Jungles for Science.“ The memoir was allegedly based on the author’s medical expeditions in Central Africa and Borneo at the behest of the Royal Society of Tropical medicine. However the rousing tale of adventure and lure of the jungle was quickly pulled in the UK due to many plagiarized passages from Owen Rutter’s 1924 novel set in Borneo “Passion Fruit.†The photographs also generated controversy as they mostly appeared to reproduce the popular RPPC’s sold to tourists in Borneo and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine denied ever dispatching him even though he had been accepted as a member. Dr. Torrance was not to keep himself out of trouble as he was later arrested for murdering his third wife in Mexico while on honeymoon -- with a thermos flask.

19503467Nashville 1950. Very good. Two yearbooks: 244; 208pp. The first bound in blue textured cloth the second in maroon textured cloth each front cover stamped in gilt with a mounted photograph. Some scuffing to edges. Light thumb-soiling to texts previous owner's inscription in each volume. A pair of yearbooks once belonging to Dr. James L. Hutchinson of Shreveport Louisiana while a medical student at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the mid-20th century. The yearbooks - the Meharrian for 1949 and 1950 - cover Hutchinson's last two years at the school and are chock full of photographs and information on the administration faculty students student organizations and campus life at the pioneering college. The last sections in each yearbook are comprised of advertisements from local vendors mostly medical suppliers. Meharry Medical College opened in 1876 as the first institution in the South designed to train African American doctors. At the time Hutchinson attended the school Meharry also trained dentists nurses dental technicians and medical technologists all of whom are represented in the yearbooks.<br /> <br /> Meharry remains the largest private HBCU dedicated to training healthcare professionals. Dr. James L. Hutchinson established a medical practice in San Mateo California in the 1950s becoming one of the very first African American doctors to work in the Golden State. In addition to his family practice Dr. Hutchinson was one of the founding doctors of both Planned Parenthood and Project 90. Amazingly he is still practicing medicine today in his early 90s. Editions of the Meharrian from any year are rather rare. OCLC records a smattering of yearbooks at about a dozen institutions. unknown

19262327<p>New York: Gallia Laboratories Inc. 1926. <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.
