America 1919

Chapter 1048 - 358, The Most Deadly Commodity of the 1920s



In this situation, various merchants increasingly sought after radium-containing products, such as radium cigarettes, radium ointments, and radium toothpaste, endlessly emerging.

Now, all sorts of radium-containing cosmetics began to appear on the market, and they were all quite expensive. These cosmetics became the new darlings of socialites and also a basis for wealthy women to compete with one another.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Before anyone noticed the radioactive hazards of radium, more industries began researching radium-containing products.

A doctor named William Bailey invented a device called the "Radium Hormone Device."

The main component of this device was a radium-rich alloy plate, wrapped in a layer of cloth. People could freely sew it into their underwear or clothes to conveniently apply it to any part that needed rejuvenating.

Dr. William believed that this device could ionize, or in other words, radiate the endocrine system to promote hormone secretion, making the body healthier.

In reality, the high-energy rays could indeed make human cells grow rapidly because these cells were about to become cancerous, which is why they grew so fast.

Unaware of the truth, the American public praised this device, believing that Dr. William brought them health.
