In the early 20th century, the Sears catalog sold the Heidelberg Electric Belt, a jockstrap that delivered current to the genitals. The electricity was purported to reduce anxiety and solve a variety of other ailments, among which were weakness, exhaustion, impotency, rheumatism, sciatica, lame back, railroad back, insomnia, melancholia, kidney disorder, Brights disease, dyspepsia, disorders of the liver, female weakness, poor circulation, weak heart action, and almost every known disease and weakness. Apparently it didnt work? Or, suspect there were a flood of product liability cases resulting therefrom.
