After watching last evening's offering of "Pawn Stars", and wincing at Corey's transaction of a "Urethral Instillation Syringe from the Mid-Ninteenth Century, with the above referenced physician, I decided to try and find out what makes her "tick".  Dr. Dalia Wachs is apparently a product of Nevada, having received her formal education at UNLV and the University of Nevada - Reno.  She and her chiropractor husband, Corey Wachs, D.C., operate a family practice operation in Las Vegas. She is board certified in Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, and has advanced training in Pharmacology. Her show is aired weekdays, from 09:00AM till 12:00Noon, Pacific.  Her radio program is sponsoring a cruise to Alaska (departing June 28th, 2013).

That was a truly barbaric looking device for the cure for the 1800's version of STD's...  I ponder if a little religious sadism with some of the prescribed at the time treatments.  Gesh putting burning caustic chemicals into that area...  Wow...

I'd vie for the syringe, because the silver rod, called a "Urethrotome", at that time (shown below, in the movie "The Great Scout, and Cathouse Thursday") was heated using a bunsen burner (to approximately 200°F), and rapidly inserted - then withdrawn from the male urethra to affect "the cure from hell".

Like this, Mope:

"You get it the same old way, we cure it the same old way - sizzzzzzzzle - then - OUCH!"

 

Silver was found to have anti-bacterial properties by both Louis Pasteur, and Joseph Lister during the latter part of the 1860's. Heating the silver urethrotome was thought to increase the efficacy of the procedure by killing any residual bacteria. It was estimated that a 40% rate of cure was attained by this procedure. It is also said that physicians used the "heated rod" method to discourage sexual promiscuity, and decrease the rates of Syphilis and Chancroid (also called "soft chancre" - thought at the time to be another form of syphilis).

In truth, Syphilis would not be conquered until around 1912 when Germany's Dr. Ehrlich discovered a method for attenuating arsenic (called "arsenical compounds at the time), resulting in "Compound 606, the Magic Bullet".

funny THEY HAD THE KNOWLEDGE of the properties of Silver back at that time an nowadays they are using again. A lot of the packing material when the wound on my leg was silvercell or has silver in it...  Best stuff that I wish they'd still had to heal it faster was the panafil with the copper in it.. That helped a lot the one time but they took that style off the market..

 

Mope, was it Flint SSD Cream, Silvadene, or "Silver Sulfadiazine"??  Great stuff, especially for burns and severe blistering.  It's saved many-a-life.... (and been around since the '60s)
