000004629 520__ $$aAn I-ON-A-CO belt, introduced by Gaylord Wilshire in 1926. The device was meant to cure a range of ailments, including goiter. It consists of two brown leatherette-covered coils of insulated wire. The smaller coil has two free ends attached to a miniature light socket with a 7-volt lamp bulb. The large coil is thickly padded and has an electric cord with two-prong plug. The manufacturers logo and directions on the large coil read: "Magnetic life buoy. Place around the body over all clothing. Use 100-125 volt AC. Use in 10 min. period once or twice a day." The device was donated by Dr. N.J. Dunn in April 1967. It is in good condition, with small amounts of electrical tape securing the electric cord to the large coil.
