(Booklet) Lydia Pinkham. Sweets

32 pp. Illus. with drawings. Pictorial pink striped wrappers. Lynn, MA: Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., c.1915.

Lydia Pinkham Co. manufactured medication and vitamins for specific women’s issues, like infertility, menopause, baby rash, etc. It’s fascinating that each page contains one recipe for something like Turkish candy, and then advice about how to treat medical issues specific to women, and that advice had to be tucked into a cooking booklet so men wouldn’t find it. Chipping to extremities, pages brittle, else good.
