    "The Revigator was intended to add radioactivity (radon) to drinking water. Water without radioactivity was 'devoid of its life element.'

    The glazed ceramic body of the jar has a porous lining that incorporated uranium ore. Water placed inside the jar would absorb the radon released by decay of the radium in the ore.

    Advertised as 'an original radium ore patented water crock,' it sold in the hundreds of thousands between 1924 and 1930."

        @jalefkowit look if you’re not using the Revigator you’re going to be left behind. A Revigator won’t take your job but someone using a Revigator to enhance their vital energies will take it

                  @glyph @SnoopJ @jalefkowit Sadly I think the Revigator would be pretty far down the list ... does "Cigarettes" even make the top 10?

                        @glyph @meejah @SnoopJ The funny bit about the Revigator is that it had completely unintended side effects that would probably have killed you before the radiation did
