Electric Therapy Speculation / 电疗法想象

Electric therapy speculation is the source’s frame for eighteenth-century hopes that electricity could treat paralysis, frostbite, headaches, fertility problems, and other bodily conditions. 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代 uses James Graham’s “Temple of Health” and Giovanni Aldini’s demonstrations to show the range from fashionable therapy to corpse-animation spectacle.

The concept is not a claim that the treatments worked. It marks a moment when electricity’s novelty created plausible hope, commercial theater, and scientific overreach, all of which made 《弗兰肯斯坦》’s “spark of life” feel culturally available.
