1. Wow. Who knew they were experimenting with cyborg technology in 1914?

   When I was young the Wendy’s restaurant tables were designed with old-time ads on them. I never saw that ad but it is the same style.

2. Yikes – although you could re-caption that second picture as an early experiment in ghostbusting/exorcism technology.

3. I remember those tables! And now I want a Frosty. And a double with cheese. And probably the 1914 version of a defibrillator to go with the lung motor.

   An exorcism machine. I like it. Drawing the evil spirits from the body, and then replacing them with fresh, clean, wholesome air. They probably would have sold more of them that way.

4. I was going to make some sort of witty follow up, but now I’m entirely distracted with the notion that I might head out for a cheeseburger. Wendy’s has apparently created the most subtle internet marketing scheme I’ve ever encountered.

   • Do they still have the cheddar and bacon baked potatoes? Grab one of those to. Unless you have any respect for your arteries.

5. I just found one of these machines at work. It looks like it’s never been used & certainly doesn’t look like it’s almost 100 years old! I found this site googling to see if there was a way to determine it’s value. Any ideas?

   • No, not really. I’d check ebay first I suppose. I’m sure there are people who collect antique medical equipment – it’s got to be worth something to somebody.
