Now everyone knows that such radiation, and it is dangerous.
But at the time when these things were invented, it seems, no one thought.

Radioactive clock. Effect of glowing in the dark arrows obtained using radioactive radium-based paint.
Homeopathic medicine beginning of the 20th century - the radioactive water.
Radioactive Chocolate
Radioactive toothpaste during the Second World.

Pacemaker.
The first models of pacemakers worked on plutonium batteries. Plutonium is also known as the most toxic element on earth.
Anal candles for the treatment of hemorrhoids with the content of radium.
Condoms with uranium impregnation. Probably they thought it is easier to kill sperm.
The means for increasing the activity of sperm. It is absurd, but it was. It is worn in the front pocket and consisted of enriched radium.
