19262327New York: Gallia Laboratories Inc. 1926. <br /><br />24mo 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches; 138 x 107 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />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." <br /><br />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." <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />This pamphlet is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings. None in commerce. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some staining soiling and a few small nicks to wrappers as well as rusting to staples. But the pages are clean bright and unmarked. A Very Good copy.

Contemporary dark brown goatskin title and preliminaries lacking and supplied in early manuscript with illustrated printers device some browning and staining least severe after page 9. 17th-century inscriptions on rear endpaper for Index Capitum a medical students description of the various parts. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper. <br/><br/>First Venice Edition of Capivaccios philosophical practica in Galenic teachings a pillar for medical students of the Renaissance. First edition printed in Frankfurt in 1594 under the title Practica Medicina. Capivaccios lectures were posthumously edited by Johann Hartmann Beyer. This is the first Venice edition of these lectures on the healing sciences by one of the leading Italian medical practitioners of his time is edited by Giovanni Bernardo Sessa. Capivaccio died at Padua in 1589 where he had taught at the university for 27 years. He was a specialist in venereal diseases for which he had developed certain successful cures guarding his secrets jealously from colleagues. Capivaccio applied a philosophical approach to his practica so much so that it is doubtful if it was ever much used as a vade mecum. By writing at such great lengths it is clear Capivaccio wished to educate students rather than give them a handbook. Apart from the wish to restore Galenic teachings and to educate students one motive for Capivaccios practica may have been to bolster the claims of university doctors over the central providers of medical expertise in the Renaissance namely priests wise-women magicians herbalists and travelling empirics. This work important to the reform of the practice of medicine and to the wider concept of dogmatism or rationalism in medicine the Renaissance physician could use Capivaccios work to locate the causes of diseases as well as its signs.
