More precious than Rubies Cover title

19262327New York: Gallia Laboratories Inc. 1926. 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." 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." 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. 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. 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. 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. This pamphlet is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings.

A Treatise on the Ideal Treatment of Nervous Diseases and Exhaustion in Men by Absorption

19052316New York: Marston Remedy Company 1905. Revised Edition. 16mo 6 3/8 x 4 1/2 inches; 162 x 113 mm 32 pages in stapled wrappers soft cover. Pamphlet from a company offering "medicated" suppositories and contraptions that purportedly treat men's sexual nervous and urinary disorders. One "treatment" involves cocoa butter. "The suppository now glides into the rectum with the most perfect ease by means of a little pressure from the finger and which is often important this method of rectal treatment leaves no traces to excite the curiosity of servants or others." page 10. While most of the "treatments" involve suppositories of one kind or another the company also offers devices to relieve men's suffering illustrations helpfully included. There's "Dr. Curling's Varicocele Truss" which supposedly treats pain in the scrotum. This we're told is preferable to surgery. "Several surgeons have been assassinated by patients whom they have thus made hoplessly sic impotent." page 23. There's also Marston's Urethral Tapers pencil-like devices that "soothe heal and at the same time destroy all germ life. They medicate the entire canal never stain the clothing and are rapid in action." So convenient you can carry them in your pocket. page 27. Marston Remedy Company was a defendant in a number of court cases. "Marston Remedy Company was owned by H.D. Van Leuven of New York. The company's advertising methods proved so outrageously fraudulent -- even for the period -- that in September 1906 the Postmaster-General denied the company the use of the U.S. mails." An Annotated Catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform Vol. III Supplement A-Z page 479. OCLC shows a single institutional holding of this pamphlet at the University of Rochester home of the Atwater Collection the Atwater copy appears to have been published earlier than our copy. Yale has a copy under the same title but by a different publisher and with double the page count of our copy or the Atwater copy. RARE. CONDITION: Light soiling to wrappers and heavy toning to pages. Very Good overall. Marston Remedy Company paperback
