1880WRCAM56371New Haven: Hoggson & Robinson Steam Job Printers 1880. Broadside 9 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches. Minor creasing and edge wear light soiling. Near fine. A rare broadside touting the healing powers of Dr. S.A. Tanner who promises to "give the locations and symptoms" to any disease "WITHOUT ASKING ANY QUESTIONS." Tanner asserts that he uses natural "Indian Vegetables composed of Roots Herbs Barks and Buds" and specifically states that they would heal "lameness hip and spinal diseases." He offers free consultations and house calls as well. Dr. Tanner claimed an office at Apothecaries Hall in New Haven a long-running pharmacy and office building for area physicians. Dr. Tanner's services have the ring of medical quackery one of the defining characteristics of which was the absolute talent to cure any disease with Native American medicines.

184019330Boston: Printed and Published for Dr. Samuel Thomson and for Sale at his Medicine Store 1840. First edition. A couple of small spots of damp-stain a bit roughly opened in a few spots with a small chip to the upper outer corner of the title page; a very good copy. Unbound stab-stitched pamphlet 8 x 4.5 inches 36 pages. Illus. An effective advertisement for the Thomsonian botanic system of medicine a well-established ongoing enterprise at this point with much in the way of pointed humorous verses in the voice of the humble lobelia anecdotes about the follies of allopathic physicians and a sort of backhanded defense of women as physicians: "Altho' woman may be inferior to us in mathematical political and military talents; we cannot deny that they possess superior capacity for the science of medicine; and although men should reserve to themselves the exclusive right to mend broken limbs and fractured skulls and to prescribe in all cases for their own sex they should give up to women the office of attending upon women." Among the ads for Thomson publications and warnings against imitators presumably James Osgood's Thomsonian Almanac one finds a nice job printing advertisement for S. R. Hart of Boston at the foot of the last page. With 12 fine humorous woodcut illustrations. Drake 4230. Printed and Published for Dr. Samuel Thomson, and for Sale at his Medicine Store, unknown books

182637211Harrisburg PA 1826. Folio sheet folded to 4 pp for mailing. Addressed with Harrisburg postmark to Dr. Fairlamb in Downingtown. With tear from seal remnant affecting a single letter. Very Good.<br/><br/> "My Dear Fairlamb In as much as the passage of the new Medical school bill will crowd our profession which is already full by offering greater facilities to the study of medicine and as the Jefferson Medical faculty have already given us an earnest that they will prostitute medical honours by conferring them on men unacquainted with medical science the interest of medical men throughout the State is consequently deeply involved. The degree of Dr. of medicine has been conferred on Jonathan Pound a book-binder by the Jefferson College after having attended one course only. Five of the six professors were in favour of conferring a degree on my neighbour Henry Zook who is almost an idiot. A letter was received last night from Dr. Hiester of Reading in which he states that "two quacks in Lebanon county have actually received from the professors of the Jefferson College a promise of the Degree of Doctor of Medicine for exertions which they have made and are still making to send forward petitions in favour of the new medical school.<br/> "From such dishonourable proceedings I am confident that your well judging mind will revolt. As the more you view this bill in all its bearings the more you will be convinced that it will interfere with our interest." Harris urges Fairlamb to use his influence by urging Representative Hunt to oppose the bill.<br/> Hon. William Harris 1799-1865 a civil engineer was the son of James Harris a Pennsylvania State Senator and cofounder of the town of Bellefonte. He was son-in-law of Dr. George Ashbridge Fairlamb 1784-1829. Dr. Fairlamb received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1808 and practiced medicine in Downingtown for many years. He also established The Independent Journal of Downingtown a Jackson paper with George Plitt in 1827. unknown books
1925WRCLIT81017Binghamton NY: Dr. Kilmer & Co. 1925. Pictorial wrappers. Lower extreme forecorner of upper wrapper detached and laid in tiny closed tear at fore-edge of upper wrapper text uniformly tanned otherwise very good. First edition of this almanac promoting Dr. Kilmer's kidney liver and bladder medicine praised for not containing any "habit- producing drugs" such as "calomel mercury creosote morphine opium strychnine cocaine." although it did contain 10% alcohol. Interspersed between the advertisements and testimonials is a useful planting and weather almanac. Dr. Kilmer 12840-1924 started marketing his elixir around 1878 and in 1892 sold his interests to his brother Jonas and the enterprise was the foundation for the multi-million dollar fortune of Willis Sharpe Kilmer. A few years after this issue a substantial Dream Book component was added to the almanac. Dr. Kilmer & Co. unknown books

1860WRCAM41779New York: B.L. Judson & Co. 1860. 24pp. Original yellow printed wrappers. Spine mostly perished. Some chipping and tears to wrappers. Very minor soiling. Good. A rare patent-medicine almanac reprinting the story of an herbalist's rescue of Tula the Aztec princess likely fabricated to promote the sale of Judson's various medicaments. Originally printed in 1859 by the same publisher the almanac recounts the story of the "wealthy herbalist Dr. Cunard who with a trapper named Du Bois or Hawk Eye spent seven years trapping and travelling throughout the Far West. The doctor had a number of unusual experiences not the least of which was his single-handed defiance of the Navajo Tribe as they were about to burn Tula the Aztec princess at the stake. This was accomplished by capitalizing on the fortuitous imminence of a total eclipse of which the good doctor knew after consulting his handy little almanac. The Navajo chief was as confounded as Merlin in an earlier day and promptly gave up not only Tula but also his secret mountain-herb recipe. A trapper's testimonial direct from St. Louis concludes this 'True Account'" - Eberstadt. The almanac seems to have been published for only about four years 1860- 63 although the advertisement/story does appear in a few other almanacs as well. OCLC locates only one copy of the 1861 almanac and only one of most of the others as well at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. Rare and interesting. EBERSTADT 127:215 ref. B.L.
