revigator/radithor

[Sharron A Daly <sdaly@csd4.csd.uwm.edu>]

Paul Frame mentioned a request from an individual regarding Eben Byers 
and Radiathor.  As an FYI, there was a very good article in Scientific 
American, August 1993 (p94-99) entitled "The Great Radium Scandal" that 
discusses some of the quackery and snake oil medicine that "promoted" 
revigators, etc. and the death of Eben Byers that is very informative.  
I've used parts of it to make some unique points about public concern and 
radiation during training sessions, etc.  ---  If anyone would like a 
copy please feel free to contact me directly.
