Description

New York: Butterick Publishing, 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. Minor rubbing to spine tips. Near Fine, lacking the impossibly scarce dustwrapper. Aside from his nearly impossible to obtain first book VENTURES INTO VERSE, this is Mencken's scarcest book. Though not published under his own name, Mencken wrote most if not all of the text. If you want to know Mencken's viewpoints on subjects such as the difference between mother's and cow's milk, there is no better, perhaps no other, place to turn. In a copy that sold at auction at Christies in 1995, Mencken inscribed the following: "I found Hirshberg. He prepared the material and I wrote the copy. More than 125,000 American mothers, using this invaluable text, have saved their brats from smallpox, arterio-sclerosis, poison-vol and delirium tremors. This has been my sole contribution to the salvation of humanity."
