Electrotherapy, 1900

Electrotherapy. Historical artwork of 19th-century patients being treated with electrotherapy. A wide variety of electrotherapy treatments were invented following the discovery of electricity in the 18th century, such as franklinisation, faradisation and galvanisation. The treatment shown here involves static electricity. The large Wimhurst machine at right is being driven by a Trouve electric motor. The static electrical charge produced is delivered to the patient (centre) using wires. The treatment here is being carried out by Dr Vigouroux at the Saltpetriere hospital, Paris, France. Artwork from A Travers l Electricite (G. Dary, Paris, 1900)

In this illustration, we are transported to the Saltpetriere hospital in Paris, France, where Dr Vigouroux is administering a unique treatment using static electricity. The scene depicts a diverse group of patients from the 19th century eagerly awaiting their turn for this innovative therapy. At the center of attention is a male patient, surrounded by doctors and nurses who are carefully connecting wires to deliver the static electrical charge produced by an impressive Wimhurst machine powered by a Trouve electric motor. This cutting-edge equipment was part of an array of electrotherapy treatments invented after electricity's discovery in the 18th century. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations bring to life this pivotal moment in medical history when science merged with medicine. As we observe this scene unfold, it becomes evident that advancements in technology were transforming healthcare practices during this era. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding and utilizing electricity for therapeutic purposes.
