C 1920’s-1930’s Lot 3 Quack Medicine Booklets Dr Miles, Lydia Pinkham, Dr Pierce
This is a lot of three (3) booklets aimed at American women in the 1920’s-1930’s. They include a 30 page 6 ¼” x 4 ¾” “Hints for Housekeepers” from Dr Miles (Cactus Compound, Nervine, etc), a 32 page 5 ½” x 4” “Your Dream Book” from Dr Pierce (pills of all sorts, tonics, ointments) and a 32 page 7” x 4 ½” “Let’s Make a Garden” from the Lydia E Pinkham Company (the famous Lydia Pinkham’s Medicinal Compound). The booklets focus on a variety of available medicines for virtually every imaginable ailment but few were ever found to have any real benefit (Miles Alka-Seltzer was one). The booklets are dominated by advertisements but mixed in are some comments on dreams, household hints and gardening tips. The hair and clothing styles appear to be mostly 1920’s-30’s and that is an honest estimate of the vintage. All complete, some modest handling wear.
