A time when it was believed that radioactivity was something beneficial and even invigorating to the human body.
It continued to be marketed until 1928, always advertised as being "the cure for the living dead" or an "eternal sun".
The most famous victim of the “medicine” was Eben Byers, who admitted to consuming a bottle of Radithor every day.
Byers, a wealthy socialite, an athlete who was a golf champion in 1906 and the son of industrialists, died a horrible death, when he accumulated large amounts of radium in his bones, losing his jaw while he was still alive, in addition to having an abscess in his brain and holes in his skull. .
