Temple of Health

James Graham (1745–1794) was a Scottish showman, as well as a proponent of electrical cures, the inventor of earth-bathing, and a pioneer in sex therapy. A self-styled doctor, he was best known for his electro-magnetic musical Grand State Celestial Bed. Dismissed as a quack by medical experts, Graham apparently believed in the efficacy of his unusual treatments. Historian Roy Porter writing in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that Graham's sexological views were quite typical of the period.
