The Baunscheidt "lebenswecker" or "resuscitator" consisted of sharp needles set in a bed of hard rubber or wood. By means of a spring arrangement, the needles were driven into the skin over a painful area; then "Baunscheidt's Oil" was rubbed over the minute wounds produced y the needles. The "treatment" was also resurrected by the Sanzone Company.
