Biography
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.
