Description

“FDA wages war on fake contraptions sold with impossible claims,“ reads this FDA press photo. Modeled by an FDA employee, it claimed to cure tuberculosis and rheumatism with 20 drops dropped onto the cone. FDA scientists determined that it contained iodine, alcohol, chloroform, and oil of eucalyptus.
