The curator of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices shares his collection of hilarious, horrifying, and preposterous medical devices that have been foisted upon the gullible in their quest for good health. These modern-day snake oil salesmen, with their dubious devices, have preyed on the medically ignorant with ridiculous and sobering results. From the Prostate Gland Warmer to the Retro Rotor, from the Nose Straightener to the Wonder Electro Marvel, these implements reveal the desperate measures sought for magic cures. With period advertisements, promotional literature, and gadget instructions, this book offers a wealth of past -- and present -- medical fraud.
