America in the Air.

Buffalo, NY: World’s Dispensary Medical Association, [not before 1927]. Staplebound. 32 pp., illustrations, color printed wraps. 4 x 5.5 in. Oblong pamphlet. Surface scratched on rear cover.

A booklet with a very abridged history of aviation, emphasizing the then-recent solo flight of Charles Lindbergh from New York to Paris and the emerging possibilities of aviation in both war and commerce. The majority of the booklet is in fact a series of advertisements and testimonials for various medical products produced by V.M. Pierce, such as the “Golden Medical Discovery,” “Anuric Tablets,” and “Pleasant Pellets.” Also includes ads for a publication, Medical Adviser, and Dr. Pierce’s Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute. A blank form questionnaire (unused) and instructions for a free consultation are appended.
