That’s what’s so great about talking about the past, Eric; it’s still as current today as it was last year!

I saw an Antiques Roadshow recently where a collector showed a radium water jar. There really must be quite a radioactive punch to them — he said that some states regulate the ownership of such jars.

[Noting the recent activity relating to this post I took another look. I love how I can make a comment on a long dormant thread like this. The conversation goes on forever!]

Re #29: I don’t think it matters much what the brand is. It is more how it is administered. I think the best results would come from topical application-say a whole bottle, ice-cold right over the head. That will get you awake!

I think it’s the side view of a hand-held mirror, cchrissyy.

in that 2nd image, I see the lady has the radioactive pad strapped on her back, but what on earth is that in her hand? Was it meant to strike me as sexual symbolism?

[...] historian first class, Ardis Parshall shares some rather disturbing old Utah newspaper clippings proclaiming the wonders of radioactive water for your health. [...]

These are great, Ardis.

And Jami (12), you may have been talking to my in-laws. They subscribe to exactly that theory, and offer all sorts of medical advice on a regular basis.

Well, I can’t contribute anything to a serious discussion on lithium or radioactivity. But I do wish Pres. Monson would “officially comment upon and bless” the correct kind of water for me to drink. Then I wouldn’t have to wonder if Dasani or Arrowhead is a better remedy for sleeping in church.
