1889Best.-Nr. 6941New York: Phillips & Hunt 1889. First edition. 8vo 3 291pp plus 4 ads at rear. Beige textured cloth backed parchment boards stamped in gilt and blind. Some rubbing and soiling corners worn. Clean internally and very good. A strange book with a fun title which tells the cautionary tale of a hypochondriac woman how she brings down those around her and finally rids herself of her condition. She does this more or less through an odd combination of mind and faith-healing. Dr. Homer H. Moore was a Methodist clergyman and author of such other titles as Matter Life & Mind: Their Essence Phenomena & Relations examined with Reference to the Nature of Man & the Problem of His Destiny; and The Anatomy of Atheism As Demonstrated in the Light of the Constitution and Laws of Nature. A blurb from the Methodist Review September 1889 states: "Dr. Moore. has discovered the secret of much of the sickness that afflicts the human family and offers in this work a prescription which. will result in a cure. through a common-sense belief in one's health with suitable exercise and an abundance of nourishing food. The professional sick. must be treated not as they desire but according to the facts." In the author's preface he mentions all the people he may offend with his book including doctors. It does seem to be a text of belief-based medical denial. OCLC cites only 4 holdings. . Phillips & Hunt unknown

The Miles Medical Company was founded by Dr Franklin L. Miles 1845-1929 in Elkhart Indiana in 1884 but he sold his interest within a couple years. The Miles company produced many popular remedies including Dr Miles Nervine Dr Miles Pills and Dr Miles Alternative Compound. Competition was fierce within the world of quack medicine with many companies producing advertising gimmicks trade cards or almanacs to promote their cures. While some quack medicines did have active ingredients which alleviated symptoms many were either benign or caused harm. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure which came out in 1888 supposedly contained the dangerous compound digitalis. Those who sold the medicines were called "snake oil salesmen" using enthusiastic and deceptive sales techniques including "fire and brimstone" sermons theatrical productions and confidence tricks. Today quackery ephemera is highly collectible. Dr. Miles Medical Company

1938Best.-Nr. 14536Chicago: n.p. 1938. A very scarce pamphlet reprinting an article by Rev. Dr. Oscar Stewart Michael former pastor of the American churches in Dresden and Munich that originally appeared in the Chicago Deutsch-Amerikanische Buerger-Zeitung.

The article appears to have circulated as a mimeographed typescript by the Nazi propaganda agency Deutscher Fichte-Bund before being printed in the Deutsch-Amerikanische Buerger-Zeitung. Stapled wrappers 8 pp. Some toning near fine. Foreword in German the rest of the article in English. This edition not found separately catalogued in WorldCat although there are two copies of the Deutscher Fichte-Bund typescript at Harvard and the British Library. n.p. unknown
