What’s all the fuss for a violet wand? Soon I will find out! I just got one after all those years I said I should have one, but no one really asked for it. Accordingly to this link it used to be for lots of medical treatments: catarrh, lupus, flu, eczema, acne, tuberculosis, carbuncles and nowadays it is for sexual stimulation.
The one I bought is a 1923, the previous owner said it is more powerful than the current ones! In those years, it was called: Violet ray electrotherapy proponents point to its oxygenation and stimulation properties as therapeutic. A related device called a High Frequency aesthetic machine is currently used in beauty salons today for its ability to oxygenate the skin and stimulate the scalp with a very mild current that is barely noticed on the skin, claim to help hair growth.
According to their devotees, these contraptions could make nearly everything better. They could bring about “a feeling of well-being, increased mental vigor, [and] heightened resistance to infection,” or so wrote Dr. E. P. Cumberbatch, an Oxbridge physician in the British Medical Journal. More specifically, the violet ray machine cured infants who were unable to eat, children who were plagued by endemic fevers, and adults with the flu. It could assist in healing tuberculosis, rickets, lupus, eczema, acne, boils, and carbuncles. – See more at: http://www.stacycordery.com/juliette-gordon-low/violet-ray-machine/#sthash.ls3U3orH.dpuf

As antiques, violet rays can be popular medical and historical collectibles. This device will add spice to my medical scenes!
Fans of early Wonder Woman stories featured a science fiction healing device known as the “Purple ray”, inspired by the violet ray device.
The violet ray was recommended by American psychic Edgar Cayce in some 200 of his readings. In conclusion, if Edgar recommended it, it must be really good! 😉

Maîtresse,
In 1784, Marquis de Sade was transferred to the Bastille. On 2 July 1789, he reportedly shouted out from his cell to the crowd outside, “They are killing the prisoners here!”, and a disturbance began to foment. Two days later, he was transferred to the insane asylum at Charenton near Paris. The storming of the Bastille, a major event of the French Revolution, would occur a few days later on 14 July.
