| This is a bad picture of a reproduction of an ad that appeared in a magazine in 1887. It is called THE MAGNETINE LUNG INVIGORATOR.  I quote from the ad: "This is recommended in cases of incipient consumpstion, obstinate cough, weakness of the lungs, asthma, and bronchitis. It covers the entire surface of the lungs, back and front, and forms an excellent appliance as a Lung Protector. The magnetic influence of this appliance, which penetrates the tubes and tissues of the Lungs, has in many cases given almost immediate relief and effected rapid cures." Rrriiggtt.  "Willie, were you or were you not looking at the corsett ads in the catalogue?" - Nels  | |

| I don't think it's scary. It was prettu common back then, and I have a large number of this kind of things in old magazines. No doubt Doc Baker would have indorsed this "medicine".  Vanesa. | |
