19052316New York: Marston Remedy Company 1905. Revised Edition. <br /><br />16mo 6 3/8 x 4 1/2 inches; 162 x 113 mm 32 pages in stapled wrappers soft cover. <br /><br />Pamphlet from a company offering "medicated" suppositories and contraptions that purportedly treat men's sexual nervous and urinary disorders. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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."

Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform Vol. III Supplement A-Z page 479. <br /><br />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.

For a longer biographical sketch see Kelly and Burrage "American Medical biographies" 1920 pp. 497-498. Dr. Warren's address reads in part: "This gentleman was one of the ablest practitioners in the United States. In the West he was considered as without a superior . while warm & decided in discussion he was not dogmatical and gave an agreeable influence to all he said by the openness and amenity of the manner in which he said it . the respect for him of the profession and community is derived from the noble manner in which he contended against the fatal epidemic of cholera . he continued to expose himself to the disease till he was destroyed by it." Also laid in is a 1961 letter of presentation from one Harrison descendant to another. <br/><br/> Various publishers hardcover books
