MEDICAL QUACKERY: Oxydonor Victory - Antique Medical Electric Device Pat. 1890
Really odd Very unique late 19th century study of American Medical Quackery. Antique quack medical device which was used for numerous ailments, conditions. Especially when someone was having an "episode" and needed a "treatment"!!   Comes with engraved metal holder and with storage tube, a booklet of instructions, and an 80 page booklet of testimonials.  Invented by Dr. H. Sanche and patented in 1890.  The picture on the storage sleeve shows how the device is supposed to be used.
See photos; Device itself is in very good condition. In a Fitzgerald Medical Manufacturing Company box.
The Oxydonor Victory invented and made by Dr Hercules Sanche of Detroit Michegan and patented June the 24th in 1890.
A remarkable instrument of quackery “To cure all form of Disease quickly, intangibly, pleasantly, infallibly, during sleep or while awake; and to brace the human system in all conditions, with Animation never known and not otherwise attained, whether in Disease of Debility, or in Fatique, and in all Physical and Mental Ordeals”.
The user was required to place the central metal tube or “Vocor” in a jar of iced water and then attach the the contact disk “on the Naked Ankle of the Lady shown in the cut” (see picture) until better! The colder the water the better the cure. The original box has some wear but the Oxydonor is unusually complete with ornately engraved Vocor and outer metal casing and the original cord, buckle and contact disc, along with the 114 page instruction manual.
NOT FOR USE BUT FOR DISPLAY ALONG WITH OTHER ODDITIES!
