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.

184531608Shelbyville Tennessee: m/a 1845. Letter. Good. Bifolium letter. 4 pages. Multiple folds creases and small edge tears to the paper. Signature at bottom is missing a couple of letters from a chip. First page used to to discuss subscription fee receipt etc. for the Journal of Medicine. Address for J. & H. G. Langley Astor House Broadway New York publishers of Medical journals and science periodicals and postal mark from Shelbyville Tennessee on the back page. From Rootsweb Ancestry dot com: DR. THOMAS LIPSCOMB one of Bedford County's oldest and best citizens was born in Louisa County Va. July 22 1808 to the marriage of William Lipscomb and Ann Day Cook natives of Spottsylvania and Louisa Counties Va. respectively. The father was killed by a falling tree in January 1829 having been a farmer. The mother attained the ripe age of ninety years and her old age was marked with great vitality. With her own hands she knit over 100 pairs of socks for the Confederate soldiers after she had passed eighty years of age. She lived nearly forty years a widow. The subject of this sketch was reared with his parents on a farm and received a common school education. At the age of twenty-one he went to Winchester Tenn. and began the study of medicine. Thence he attended the Medical University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia whither he proceeded and returned the most of the way on horseback. After one course of lectures he returned to Franklin County Tenn. where his parents had moved in 1826. In 1831 he came to Shelbyville where he has spent a lifetime in the practice of medicine surgery and obstetrics and has attained eminence in his profession. He has been president of the Medical Society of Tennessee of the Bedford County Medical Society and of the Female Institute at Shelbyville. Since entering into the practice of his profession the honorary title of M. D. has been conferred upon him by the University of Louisville and by the University of Tennessee. He has been successful financially. Since 1855 he has carried on farming. He is the president and largest stockholder of the Victor Mills of Shelbyville and was the president of the Branch Bank of Tennessee at Shelbyville at the opening of the war. The advancement of the schools and churches is due greatly to him. For two years he held the Shelbyville post office the emoluments of which he allowed to the widow of a former postmaster. He is not now actively engaged in the practice but at the age of seventy-three he successfully performed the difficult ovariotomy operation for the first time in his life. He was married May 22 1832 to Rebecca Stevenson who bore him ten children all of whom were raised. This wife died December 6 1880 and he then wedded October 26 1882 Miss Mary A. Cowan. Dr. Lipscomb and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church as was his first wife. Politically he is a Democrat and wields large influence as a worthy citizen of the county. m/a unknown
