Scope and Content Note:
The advertising cards were produced by Ciba Pharmaceutical Products, Inc., of Summit, New Jersey. The cover of each pamphlet is a full-color historical illustration of a medical facility in the United States. On the interior fold is a thumbnail black-and-white sketch that illustrates how the facility looked at the time of publication, ca. 1940s, and a brief history of the facility. The rest of each pamphlet advertises a drug. Generally, there are two pictorial advertisements (ads) for the drug and text which describes how to use the drug, the dosage and the way(s) the drug is issued.
