This 1895 spinner base ball gameboard from Pluto Water features their iconic devil mascot. Pluto Water, was America's natural water laxative. "When Nature Won't, Pluto Will", was their infamous tagline for years. The active ingredient in Pluto Water was sodium and magnesium sulfate, but it also contained lithium salts among other minerals. The sale of Pluto Water was halted in 1971 when lithium became a controlled substance. Hardly a Halloween party game, but the devil is in the details here.
