Ghadiali (1873-1966) was a physician from India who emigrated to the United States in 1911, settled in Cumberland County, N.J., and promoted the Specto-Chrome, a device that could cure a great many ailments without the aid of drugs or surgery. The Specto-Chrome was essentially an aluminum box containing a 1,000 watt lightbulb, and various multi-colored windows. This example was seized by the FDA, and transferred to the Smithsonian in 1967.
