Promotional article on the Vorbeck Radioactive Water Generator, circa 1941. 1 item (11
pages)
The Vorbeck Radioactive Water Generator was invented in 1927 by J. Chester Vorbeck,
M.D., a retired physician. The article claims that the generator “charges ordinary water for
drinking or bathing with atomic energy or natural electrically charged light rays called radioactivity
– in the form of the gas radium emanation of radon – the water being made to contain an
‘an activity as high as some of the more radioactive spring waters whose radioactive properties
have been extolled’ by the United States and other leading governments and by the world’s
highest recognized authorities in this field of science – radio-activity.” In 1925, in St. Louis,
Missouri, Dr. Vorbeck “established his own laboratories in which were processed the radium
bearing ores for the recovery of the Radium employed in his own professional work.”
