Image description

Electrotherapy Pulvermacher electrogalvanic belt, 1875-1910. Dipped in vinegar, these belts of copper and zinc were described as 'self-applicable' for the cure of ïnervous and chronic diseases without medicine. J L Pulvermacher of Vienna claimed that ïupwards of one hundred medical works refer to the extraordinary cures effected by the chains. Whilst investigating the effects of electrostatic stimuli applied to the muscles of frogs, Luigi Galvani (1737-1798) discovered he could make a muscle twitch by touching the nerve with metal (a pair of scissors for example) without a source of electrostatic charge. He called this phenomenon 'animal electricity'. Galvanis work inspired the subsequent use of electricity to treat medical conditions. The term 'galvanise' - to shock or excite into action - takes its name from him. ©SSPL/Science Museum
