This is a wonderful glimpse into Chicago history. It provides info on address numbers of streets as they go east or west of State St. and north or south of Madison. However, more interesting (to me) are the many advertisements for the Chicago Medical Institute. These include promises to cure syphilis ("the Scourge of Ages 20th Century Devil"), Sexual Weakness ("Are You Declining Sexually?") Piles, Ailing Women ("Women's Responsibility--Can You Meet Yours?"), and so on. It boasts of an X-Ray machine ($1.00 per X-ray), free exams, and approved scientific treatments $1 to $2. 48 pages, all in excellent condition except for yellowing of the paper.
