Edison the Quack!

Hi Guys! Andrew the Bee here! My good pal, Billy , has invited me over to mess around on Paul's blog !  So I'm gonna start off with a riddle :  What do Thomas Edison , the great inventor , and this Victorian hippie have in common?  I mean, besides the fact that both are dudes ? Well, I'll tell you !  Both were quack doctors !  Sure, you already know that Edison invented the light bulb , the phonograph , and a whole bunch of other amazing stuff !  But did you know that he also got in on the patent medicine racket ?  Check out this old advertising card for " Edison's Polyform :"    Looks like this was some kind of funky oil that you rubbed on yourself in order to make the pain go away !  I bet it smelled really nasty .  And like most quack medicine, it didn't work very well !  Edison tried to market this stuff beginning in 1879 , but the public wouldn't buy it!   After a few years, he gave it up and went back to his lab...
