New York, New York: Eastern Laboratories, Inc, 1920. Good. Light toning, letter folds, a couple nicks/short tears.. An illustrated advertising leaflet for "The Marvel Violet Ray", a "ray"-emitting device with different attachments, including rectal and vaginal attachments. For modern viewers, it resembles a kind of hybrid of Gua Sha and LED light therapy, two beauty treatment practices popular with today's beauty influencers on TikTok (a nice example of how companies have been, are, and always will market questionable products to women seeking the fountain of youth). Each "outfit" and attachment is illustration with a brief description and model number for ordering. Measures approx. 10" by 8
