Description

Deemed a sham in 1908, Vapo cresolene was once a popular treatment for whooping cough, croupe and all kinds of respiratory related ailments. Consisting of a miniature kerosene lamp the device was designed to be used overnight and it would vaporize cresolene into the air where the ill could breathe it in. This device comes with the lamp, a spoon, the lid, the body and an extra wick, all off which are in excellent condition. Comes in original box which shows obvious signs of wear and tear. The device assembled stands a little over 6” tall. Cool little piece of medical history!
