Antique Advertising Quack Medicine 1894 Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co Alamac COVER

Description

This is a beauty BUT is only the cover.  There are no inside pages.  1894 Cover for the Kickapoo Oracle Blue Wing Indian Almanac.  Measures 6 x 8.75 and cover only, printed on both sides.  Striking colorful litho graphic on the front and back.  Inside front cover has a nice piece about bacteria and germs, worms, pararsites, etc. unbidden guests.  I'm sure that was quite scary to a customer in 1894 to see.  The back cover describes the parasites of man, the symptoms and all of the terrible things than can happen when a worm gets in your gut!  Kickapoo Indian Worm Killer, Healy & Bigelow, New Haven CT.  The druggist and apothecarist who sold the book was De Smet Drug Company out of South Dakota, fine soaps, drugs, medicines, chemicals, perfumery, etc.  I read this store was a prairie town and was in Dakota Territory.  Also a known town for Laura Ingalls Wilder.  Has some chips on the spine as shown, otherwise suitable for framing or display.  Estate find.
