Antique Dry Cell Battery Magneto-Electric Machine Quack Medical Shock Therapy

Description

Antique Dry Cell Battery Magneto-Electric Machine Quack Medical Shock Therapy.
Vintage, portable antique quack medicine medical shock machine. Over 100 years old, it looks like something a mad scientist would use on his unsuspecting victims. It has all of its original parts...the only thing needed to make it work is an old single cell battery (not included). The original label is on the inside of the lid: DIRECTIONS FOR USING SINGLE CELL MEDICAL BATTERY...(gives full detailed instructions), lists the parts included, etc. A fascinating bit of early, American medical history.
