Radioactive products in the 1940s and 1950s were considered modern, powerful, wave-of-the-future type goods.  They were used in creams, pills, toys, clocks, water, fertility products, and suppositories.  Even more amusing was that there were all sorts of radiactive products at the time.  Here are some more popular radioactive products.
