Show Machine of 1,000 Cures Amazes Skeptical Judge An amazed circuit court judge in Indianapolis recently heard testimony testimo-ny about and saw a strange machine ma-chine which witnesses said could "cure" baldness, locate oil wells and make a long distance diagnosis of Adolf Hitler. The testimony was presented before be-fore Judge Herbert E. Wilson in a suit of Dr. Heil Eugene Crum, Indianapolis, Indi-anapolis, seeking reversal of an order or-der of the state board of medical registration which revoked his license li-cense as a "drugless" physician after aft-er Crum had advertised claims for the machine. Testimony was vague on the mechanics me-chanics of the machine known as a "coetherator" but Crum was definite defi-nite in claims that it could determine deter-mine the sex of unborn children, eradicate weeds, lengthen legs, fertilize fer-tilize fields, sound for oil and "cure diseases, including cancer and tu- : berculosis." He testified he had treated more than 7,000 patients with the machine and had failed in not more than six cases. The machine is a wooden box with portholes covered with colored paper. pa-per. It contains an electric light bulb, controlled by a dial, and a tube of chemicals. Hieronymus said the machine was based on the science, of "etheron-ics," "etheron-ics," a science of diagnosing human ailments through tuning in on the vibrations of a human. He said he had experimented and found a diagnosis diag-nosis could be made by having the subject place an unexposed photographic photo-graphic negative on his head and concentrate on a symbol in a dark room. "If the subject concentrates enough the symbol will appear on the negative when it is developed," he said. Such a diagnosis could be accomplished accom-plished at long distances, he said, and, as an example, said such a diagnosis could be made even of Adolf Hitler. |
