Antique Zodiac booklet (1915); James Ballard, St. Louis MO publisher

Description

This is a highly interesting and entertaining 26 page booklet from 1915 covering the Zodiac and other topics, including phrenology, days of the week, birthstones, etc.   It also is full of entertaining advertisements for "remedies" of the day - various lotions, liquids, salves, etc. for a variety of maladies.  I am pretty sure it from 1915, as one ad touts that it has been in business up to 1915.  The booklet is in only fair condition; although all of the pages are intact and there are no markings or major rips, tears or stains.  What gives it a fair condition is that it is barely being held together.  The book was published by a James F. Ballard of St. Louis, Missouri - who is also the purveyor of the medicines advertised.  This particular booklet is also stamped on the back by J. M. Dickinson, dealer in drugs & medicines of Lake Helen, Florida (who obviously was distributing the book locally).  Please look at the photos, and be aware of the condition of the binding of the pages.
