(Bloomfield, New Jersey): (Schering Corporation), 1968. First printing. Very good plus.. First edition of this pharmaceutical brochure for medical professionals, surveying the chemical composition and effects of assorted popular hallucinogens and closing with a rundown of Schering-branded tranqulizers and antipsychotics. The brochure covers the history, chemistry, and effects of mescaline, DOM/STP, myristicin, psilocybin, LSD, and "marihuana" use, along with the reminder (repeated several times) that "there are no approved medical or therapeutic indications for any of the hallucinogens discussed in this review." For the doctor too busy for long paragraphs, Schering provides a handy lime-green and lavender summary chart of slang names, ingestion methods, as well as short- and long-term effects, followed by detailed prescribing information for Schering's finest tranquilizers, antidepressants, antispasmodics, and antipsychotics. 7.5'' x 10.5''. Original saddle-stapled color pictorial wrappers. Photographic illustrations. Printed on leaves of assorted colors. Fold-out chart on pages 26-27; fold-out rear wrapper. 28 pages.
