I give you the radium emanator, a device used to infuse water with the healthy radiation from radium. From the link, "It appears to have been made from cement mixed with uranium ore."
Needless to say, it was never a good idea, and the use of this tool died out with the end of the radium fad and, presumably, more than a few of the fad's adherents.
I will be very surprised if anyone was still making this or something to do the same thing.
- pontifier 16y agoI'm sure that along those same lines there are products that have been discontinued because the long term effects of their use overwhelms the actual benefits. DDT, lead based paint, and asbestos ceiling tiles come to mind.
