SUMMARY
Photograph of an Oscilloclast, the Abrams treatment device, held in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's collection. Identification basis: the Wikimedia Commons file record (sourced from the FDA) titles the object 'Oscilloclast' and its description attributes the device and its electronic-oscillation claim to 'Dr. Albert Abrams,' so identifying it as an Abrams Oscilloclast follows the archive record. Commons records the rights as public domain (FDA, U.S. federal government work). The underlying holding record is the FDA History Office photostream item (flickr.com/photos/fdaphotos/8225257144); the Wikimedia Commons file page is retained as the rights-bearing record for verification.
NOTES
A photograph of an Oscilloclast, the device Abrams leased to practitioners as the treatment half of the Electronic Reactions of Abrams, held in the collection of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Wikimedia Commons record (item FDA 143, credited to the FDA) titles the object ‘Oscilloclast’ and describes it as a machine by which ‘Dr. Albert Abrams’ claimed to play electronic waves back into the body, and lists the rights as public domain. The object identification follows the archive record. Serves as the object image (the case visual lead).
