Diocletian Lewis’ Beanbag

Origin
Diocletian Lewis was ever inquisitive into alternative medicine; he claimed curing his wife’s tuberculosis with homeopathy, and championed gymnastics to keep people fit and conditioned.

Then the burgeoning temperance movement entered his gaze, and Lewis devoted his work to stamping out drinking. He would lead visitation bands into saloons to pray for the patrons and bartenders, pushing them out from hundreds of communities. The sheer success of his initiative inspired women to heavily campaign for temperance.

All distaste for anything resembling a malt, tonic or vintage, Lewis’ aversion also extended to people. He pictured all southern Europeans as perpetual drunkards and opposed the new waves of immigrants flowing into the States. In addition, many of the establishments he closed would reopen days later whenever the people thirsted more for a cold brew than a sober night.

Effects
Bouncing, throwing and rolling it will slowly expunge the user of addictive substances. Alcohol, tobacco, opiates and their ilk will all be stripped clear from the user’s body. However, it has broadened its definition to include excessive fats, sugar, growth hormones, athletic supplements and even allergy medicines.

Although clean for a moment, usage does not remove the addiction itself. In fact, users become more dependent after realizing they can binge away and have a reliable way for resetting their health. Each successive use requires more motion and longer time in use before alleviating their problems. All this escalation causes the user to keep moving until they collapse from exhaustion.
