The front page has a report on one of the more significant medical breakthroughs of the 20th century, the success of the polio vaccine.
A two column photo shows Jonas Salk in his laboratory with heading: "Dr. Salk Explains Vaccine" with text. A one column heading reads: "SALK VACCINE USE EXPECTED TO ROUT POLIO" with subhead. (see images)
Complete with all 36 pages, light toning at the margins, tiny binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
