SUMMARY
An unsigned British Medical Journal article of 26 January 1924 (two weeks after Abrams's death) treating the Electronic Reactions of Abrams as a 'cult' under formal medical scrutiny. Contemporary documentation that the organized British medical profession regarded ERA as illegitimate at the moment of its peak commercial reach.
NOTES
A contemporaneous British Medical Journal item published 26 January 1924, in the weeks following Abrams’s death on 13 January 1924. The article frames the Electronic Reactions of Abrams as a ‘cult’ rather than a diagnostic or therapeutic method, and is part of the dense 1924-1925 BMJ and Lancet correspondence on ERA and its British derivative apparatus. Used here as a primary contemporary record of the organized medical profession’s verdict. Metadata confirmed against the PubMed record (PMID 20771441) and the PMC full-text record (PMC2303736); no author is listed on the record.
