Provenance and verification note for Scientific American, Our Abrams Verdict
Confidence note. The article's landing page on scientificamerican.com was opened on 19 September 2026 and confirms the title, the author, the issue (vol. 131 no. 3, September 1924), the page (158) and the subtitle quoted here in full. The full text is behind the publisher's archive paywall and was not read, so the verdict is recorded from the subtitle and from the Quackwatch account rather than from the body of the article. An earlier version of this record quoted only the words 'Found Utterly Worthless', which is a fragment of the middle of that subtitle.
