MEDICAL COIL MADE BY K.SCHALL & SON, circa 1930

This unit was used to treat skin conditions such as excema or exema (sic), and dermatitis as well as other skin complaints.
A high voltage was produced by an induction coil run from small batteries which would be contained within the box, the patient would feel a tingling sensation when they passed the implements over the effected area.
This item can be compared with the modern day “TENS” machine.
The connecting leads to the electrodes are missing.
