Five issues of The Journal of Drugless Physicians, 1939-1940

"To advance the Comity between and among all divisions of the healing arts." Color border printed on the cover of the Dec 1939 issue, otherwise printed in b&w. With a variety of illustrated ads, mostly for medical devices—one shows a man smoking a pipe while wearing a girdle. In Good to Very Good condition; exteriors a bit grubby with varying amounts of soil and staining (especially the Feb. 1940 issue), but the contents remain clean and unmarked. Two issues relate to the 1940 National Association of Drugless Physicians Convention in Chicago. With articles ranging from the legitimate-sounding "Intestinal Toxemia" and "Control of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System," to the multi-part "Soil Food and Spiritual Evolution." One article, "Social Security in Naturism," written by the director of a health spa in Cuba, is just a short story. Overall, an interesting intersection of quackery and the posturing of legitimate medical research—obscure and uncommon.
