Thanks for posting this scrap of medical advertising--I have been researching my great grandfather's suicide, May 1, 1894. Earlier he had his teeth extracted and had been undergoing treatment with three different physicians including one who charged for an "alpha syringe"--the device does look frightening but it must not have been effective since it was only a few weeks later that Grandpa shot himself in the abdomen and then in the head while standing on the train platform in Buena Vista, Colorado.
