Happiness Is a Warm Butt Gun
This wrong-in-so-many-ways advertisement for the Dila-Therm prostate warmer is ripped right from the pages of the gripping October, 1949 issue of Detective World Magazine. As I recall, the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in St. Paul, Minnesota used to have quite a collection of such devices, including the terrifyingly named, Recto Rotor.

Many of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices' questionable medical devices are still on display at the Science Museum in St. Paul, although you don't get to play with them like you used to.

When they were still at St. Anthony's, I asked if I could sit naked in Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Accumulator.
That didn't go over very well.

a 30 day trial offer? You have to wonder what happened to the goods returned as 'not fit for purpose'!
