About This Item
New York : Veedee Manufacturing Company, 1904. First edition of the trade catalog marketing a vibrator which they unfortunately entitled "The Veedee." Small octavo. [16] pp. including 6 pages of photographic illustrations of the device itself and its various methods of application. Publisher' printed red wrappers. Lower tip of rear wrapper with a very small piece excised, else a very good copy.As often the case with promotional material this pamphlet starts off with many laudatory reviews: "What a gigantic thrill"; "I'd rather have a vibration treatment than eat": "It simply thrills the pain out of you." Then comes the litany of ills that this wonder device will do away with; deafness, influenza, asthma. kidney disease, rheumatism, gout, paralysis, sciatica,, etc. A fun chapter is called "A Pleasant Sensation." From the illustrations it appears to be a hand-held device you would crank to provide the "vibrations." OCLC locates zero copies.
