Weird Science! What was James Graham Doing in His Electric Sex Temple?

Whenever the word quackery comes to mind, history remembers one person who outshines the rest, and that person is Dr. James Graham. He styled himself a doctor even though he had not completed the degree, but the faith of people made him a renowned physician. He became famous for his electric sex temple, and his electromagnetic musical celestial bed.

That he was unqualified to call himself a doctor does not seem to have affected him or held him back. His story proves that people can achieve anything if they set their mind to it. In this instance, that aim was to con rich people in society by electrocuting their private parts.

Graham became curious about the medical applications of electricity seeing the electrical experiments of Ebenezer Kinnersely and Benjamin Franklin. He was impressed, and concluded that electricity could be used to solve almost any problem. As per his views, electricity fills the body with energy which can remedy all physical ailments. He claimed this with unrelenting confidence, even after knowing that it could cause people to die.
