"The Alkaloidal Clinic" was a medical journal, not a clinic. It was "A Monthly Journal Devoted to Accuracy in Therapeutics, with Practical Suggestions Relating to the Clinical Application of the Same." The editor and publisher was Dr. Wallace C. Abbott. Abbott also had a pharmaceutical company in Chicago, Abbott Alkaloidal Co., which became Abbott Laboratories in 1914. Abbott is a major pharmaceutical company today. OCLC locates copies of the 1901 first printing in these US libraries: Bowling Green, Chicago, Cornell, Leather Archives & Museum (which is what you think it is), Library Company of Philadelphia, North Carolina, College of Physicians of Philadelphia. This is the first printing with 1901 on the title page. There is also a later printing with 1902 on the title page.
