Product Details

Pharmacy and medical-history collectors, this is the kind of specialized paper piece that deserves a close look. The 1914 U.S.P. IX dose-revision card is tied to Joseph P. Remington and the revision of the United States Pharmacopeia, giving it unusually strong historical context for a small postal card. Original postal correspondence card dated June 10, 1914 concerning comments on 'Doses' for the proposed U.S.P. IX (United States Pharmacopeia Ninth Revision). The typed message is addressed to Dr. W. B. Jolls and is signed in ink 'Joseph P. Remington,' with 'Chairman' in the text. Joseph P. Remington was a major American pharmacy author and Pharmacopeia figure, making the subject matter historically significant to pharmacy and medical-history collectors. Important authentication note: the ink signature appears handwritten and reads Joseph P. Remington, but it has NOT been authenticated or certified by PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett, a manuscript specialist or another third party. The listing therefore describes what is visibly present and does not guarantee autograph authenticity. A standout piece for collectors of pharmacy history, the U.S. Pharmacopeia, Joseph P. Remington material, medical ephemera, or early professional correspondence. Condition: Fair antique postal-paper condition with toning, handling, edge/corner wear and age marks. Both sides are shown; sold as the exact photographed card.
