AN ABRAMS SHORT WAVE OSCILLOCLAST PHONY QUACKERY DEVICE

Lot # 218 (Sale Order: 215 of 505)      

Dr. Albert Abrams, a charlatan of the first order who has been dubbed the 'Dean of All Twentieth Century Charlatans' took quackery to a new level exploiting the public's ...moreignorance when it came to newfangled technologies like electricity and 'Radionics.' Having inherited well and doing not so badly at selling his 'medical devices', he died a millionaire and provided in his will for the propagation of more hollow contributions to mankind like this Short Wave Oscillocast, essentially an empty box with some dials, wire and paddles and the phony billing of 'The College of Electronic Medicine.' There was actual apparatus inside the leatherette covered box, but very little. Just enough that the early models had a tendency to catch fire. There was no actual therapeutic or diagnostic value. Radionics employed neither radio waves nor electricity. Dr. Abrams' brand of radionics employed the principle of 'dowsing' by applying the extra-sensory perception (yes, ESP) of medical practitioners to the problem of detecting disease the way some use a Y-shape peach branch to witch water or oil deposits underground. Measures 13.5 x 15.5 x 10 inches. Very good condition, noting the absence of the power cord. We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell, except international shipments which, until further notice, we will no longer handle in-house.
