Category:Von Eisenberg's aesthetico-neuralgicon

"...which led Dr. Von Eisenberg, acting in the spirit of the Baconian philosophy, to the discovery of the theory of the Etherealization, or Spiritualization, of Medicine. The next task to which he set himself was to find some means of making his discovery of practical use, by inventing some mode of administering medicines in an ethereal form. The ordinary modes were clearly unavailing. You can not administer air by a tea-spoon. After the labor of two years, and an outlay of $7000, he succeeded in perfecting the apparatus of which the accompanying illustration gives a view, and which we shall now attempt briefly to describe." (see this image for more information.) Dr. Von Eisenberg seems to have had an office on Broadway, New York, and was working as an aurist and oculist. (see here (log in required))
