This Radithor vial, which would have originally held triple distilled water containing at least one microcurie of Radium 226 and 228, still emits traces of radioactivity. Ingesting this product in the way it was intended would have been far more harmful than restorative for any patient despite being advertised as "Perpetual Sunshine."
