<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 7761769, member: 19765"]I used to work in the Health Industry so as a result, I picked up stuff related to the health field including this Quack Medicine Device! If anyone here has any Quack Medicine Tokens or other stuff, feel free to post a pic! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I picked this up years ago, off of the bay so when I saw another one listed for sale recently, I was taken aback to see the asking price. That said, there are a couple other ones for sale on ebay with cheaper asking prices. The below information is from the link provided below and if Rulau truly noted that there were only two complete puzzles known, he was wrong! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>"Rulau notes that only two complete puzzles are known!</b> <i>J.
