The Mystery Artifact: Revealed!

The Kolon Motor is a device that was patented and used during the 1930s and 1940s. The base of the device would have been mounted on a bathroom wall with the base on a vertical position. The contoured plate was then placed against an individual's abdomen, and upon turning the side levers, the plate would rotate, massaging the area. The plate of the Kolon Motor is similar to the shape of one's colon, and its sole purpose is to relieve or prevent constipation by placing pressure on one's colon. The pressure initiates relief.

This mechanical laxative, although it was found at a yard sale, has become a prominent point of interest for all who see it. This device is a fine example of the advances in modern technology and demonstrates the creativity of the individuals who created it.
