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.

1882293St. Joseph Mo 1882. Very good. 8pp. Newspaper folio. Previously folded. Very minor loss at intersection of folds slightly affecting text. Minor wear at edges. Unopened at top edge. A wonderfully illustrated and rare newspaper promotional for S.A. Richmond & Co.'s patent medicine Samaritan Nervine. Samuel Richmond came to St. Joseph Missouri in the late 1870s and established this "World Epileptic Institute" mostly to sell his elixir which was in fact diluted nightshade. His elaborate advertisements of which this is an example claimed that it not only cured cases of epilepsy but also treated ill-behaved children and sexually dysfunctional elderly men and soothed many other maladies of the nerves. Eventually he was attacked in print by a local newspaper at which point he promptly shot the editor and after being found not guilty by reason of insanity removed to Tuscola Illinois where he continued to produce the potion. This newsprint advertisement provides a vigorous defense of Richmond's product supported by numerous lengthy testimonials. Several illustrations also depict the grounds and offices of his epilepsy institute including strangely though perhaps not surprisingly the press room. OCLC locates only copy at the University of Rochester. unknown books
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. New Haven was a locus for purveyors of such miraculous "Indian" remedies. Hoggson & Robinson, Steam Job Printers unknown books
