Description
The Efficacy of Coco Erythroxylon (Cocaine): Notes and Comments by Prominent Physicians. Published by New York & Paris: Mariani & Co, 1888. Signed by the author. No date specified on the title page but it does read second edition. Worldcat says 1888. Very rare little book. At a glance it appears to be a book through the endorsement of a large number of physicians at the time for the use of cocaine. Publishers light brown cloth hardback with gold gilt to cover. Cover has some spotting and wear, otherwise good condition. 61 pgs plus ads. 7 3/8" by 5"
