First and only edition of one of the earliest books published by the Erudite Press of Concorde, Massachusetts.

Butler (1857-1921) was a prolific author, publishing numerous books including Every boy’s book and Every girl’s book; The exploits of a physician detective; A text-book of materia medica, therapeutics, and pharmacology; and How the mind cures ; a consideration of the relationship between your outside and your inside individualities and the influence they exercise upon each other for your physical and mental welfare. The Erudite Press is still operating today; it is the non-fiction arm of Hydra Publications, known for their thriller, mystery, horror, science fiction and fantasy books.
