Product Description
Scarce and increasingly desirable 1935 first edition of The Medical Voodoo by Annie Riley Hale, one of the more controversial and sought after critics of mainstream medicine and vaccination movements of the early 20th century.
A fascinating blend of medical skepticism, alternative healing criticism, anti vaccination discourse, and Depression era cultural commentary.
Published by Gotham House, New York in 1935.
Original blue cloth hardcover with striking Art Deco style title label to front board.
An attractive survivor with clean interior pages and strong vintage presentation.
What makes this copy especially memorable is the period physician stamp from Dr.
G.
W.
Perkins of Laramie, Wyoming reading "Strong Healthy Eyes With or Without Glasses," which almost feels like an accidental companion piece to the book's themes of medical debate and unconventional health claims.
Difficult to locate in collectible condition.
