In this print from 1901, we are transported back in time to witness a groundbreaking medical treatment for tuberculosis. The image captures the renowned physician, Francisque Crotte, as he diligently attends to a patient using the power of electricity. Le Petit Journal, Paris's esteemed publication at the time, immortalized this extraordinary moment that revolutionized medicine. With an air of determination and expertise etched on his face, Dr. Crotte stands beside his patient who is battling the devastating effects of tuberculosis. Armed with innovative methods ahead of his time, he harnesses the potential of electricity to combat this deadly disease. The scene is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking as we contemplate how far medical science has progressed since then. The photograph not only highlights Dr. Crotte's pioneering spirit but also serves as a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity. It reminds us that even during times when diseases seemed insurmountable or incurable, there were individuals like Dr. Crotte who dared to challenge conventional wisdom and explore new frontiers in healthcare. This remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back over a century ago when Paris was at the forefront of scientific innovation and discovery. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder that progress often stems from bold ideas and unwavering dedication – qualities embodied by figures such as Francisque Crotte who fearlessly pushed boundaries for the betterment of humanity's health
