Elisha Perkins' invention, the metallic tractors, became renowned for their alleged healing properties. The pamphlet's testimonial captures the essence of this sensation that swept across America during that time. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our unending quest for innovative solutions to health issues. The image itself is filled with historical significance and intrigue.
