Bookpossum, that was
Eben Byers, died in 1932. Being rich and famous his death garnered attention that the women had failed to achieve and even managed to stop the sale of the patent medicine called Radithor. I think it came too late to be useful to Grace Fryer etc., and Moore didn't mention it in connection with the Ottawa case. Maybe his fame didn't translate that far? Or maybe most people dismissed it on the grounds that Byers seemed to be a rich nut case - 1400 bottles!
As per that link, this event didn't stop William Bailey trying to sell radioactive products. Bailey strikes me as a man that today would be selling water electrolysis* machines or something equivalent in the pseudo-science wellness product line.
* I actually think the electrolysis machines are almost certainly harmless - and consequently useless - but they come under the same heading: has anyone tested what happens when someone drinks the product of these machines for a decade? If these machines actually did any of the things claimed for them then it would be a very important question.
