Cathrode-Ray Grows Hair



In 1927 scientists burned a rabbit with a Cathode-Ray. After the burn healed, they popped off the scab and the hare had grown new hair.

Man flying like bird

It says he reached a height of 150', was he able to come down at will or did he fall like a rock???

 

[WDaniels]

Those propellers are really augers. That way when he descends faster than planed,(like a rock) he is able to dig his own hole to bury himself in. No need to bother anyone else with the messy details.

Weird Medical Devices

In Minneapolis there is the Museum of Weird Medical Devices. It shows (actual devices) that were used and sold to have medicinal value in the past (quackery is a term used in a lot of descripitions).

My two favorites:

1. Is a device that looks like a colander with wires going in and out of it (like you see in the cheap space/horror movies) to go over your head, which actually conducted electricity!!!

2. An ELECTRICAL PROSTRATE WARMER!!!! Long, shiney hot dog looking device!!!! I will let your imagination take over from here, but it used electricity also ( a favorite theme from when electricity was a novelity).



Other devices used radio waves, radiation (even if they did not work). It was the skill of the administrator (gift of gab) which did the job!!!!!



Doc: If you are ever in MPLS. you should look up this place (location has varied over the years, usually somewhat hidden???) as I am sure it will give you ideas to help your practice

I have in my collection of odd stuff an item I picked up about 30 years ago that was patented in 1907 and was called the Electric Body Battery. Its claim to fame was to cure just about everything that ailed you but the largest print on the box was "to strengthen and enlarge the sexual organs"!!!!!!!!! It was made to wear around the waist and there are seveal large silver contacts that contact the skin and another loop that goes around you know what. The directions are there on how to make up the electolite solution and turn it into a battery. I haven't had the nerve or the urge to see if it works but if any of you guys have any ailments you want cured you are welcome to come up and try it. I will record the event for the medical journals

I'am out in BC a couple times per winter to ski. But don't expect I'll have time to stop by to try it out, Sorry.



Maybe some of the Brothers from Texas will want to come up and demo your device, they apparently like things bigger down there. Pete

Doc, that is a pretty good likeness of the one I have. Maybe an earlier version. Where are you getting your info from??

Maybe thats what Whitmore had to wear on his ding dang after according to him he branded it on one of them curly irons he said his wife left for him. Maybe she was setting the trap.
