Radioactive pillow for a beautiful, gentle sleep

Here is an absolutely wonderful thing: Cosmos Radioactive Pad. It was produced by Graco Inc. in the glorious city of Seattle, Washington. George Cosmos was President of the company. It is a quilted pad containing a porridge of low - grade uranium-monazite ore. It was to be placed under a pillow or sheet and "to provide adequate and effective treatment for arthritis, rheumatism, neuritis and sinusitis, as well as to combat diseases of the hands, wrists, forearms and back." Began to produce and sell it in 1950, and in 1955 the FDA-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took several hundred complaints from grateful patients and banned the sale of this beautiful thing. But the company sued the Agency for two more years and eventually sued them for $ 4,632 and 35 cents to pay damages. No compensation was paid to the victims.
