Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health
Birth
Control: A Health Necessity in
Marriage, folder, 1930,
Lanteen Laboratories, U.S.A
As Andrea Tone mentions in
Devices & Desires: A History
of Contraceptives in America, the
man on the cover of this folder
wasn't an MD but a professional
model; Dr. Carr didn't exist.
This hockum seemed to pervade
the contraception and patent
medicine trade in general.
But it was profitable: Tone writes
that at 10 cents each 14 million
copies landed in buyers' hands by
the late 1930s. During the
Depression that was real money.
See another Lanteen birth
control booklet, Marriage
Hygiene (1942).
Read 1930s criticism
of Zonite and Lysol. More douches
in the column at left. Contraception
and religion.
