Historical note

Founded in 1812, the Rhode Island Medical Society is a voluntary association of physicians, physician assistants, and medical students. It supports and advocates for all Rhode Island physicians in their efforts to provide the best possible care to their patients. For more than 160 years, the Rhode Island Medical Society maintained a library, which grew to about 50,000 volumes by 1980. In 1987 the Rhode Island Medical Society made a gift of its collection to Brown University. The most significant historical portions of the collection are now housed at the John Hay Library of Brown University. Other volumes were interdigitated with the collection in the Sciences Library.

See description of a similar kit: http://www.gilai.com/product_768/Quack-Electrotherapy-Shock-Machine-by-A.Gaiffe-A-Paris-19th-Century "This shock machine was used to deliver an electric shock through the skin of patients with 'nervous diseases'. The set, made by Adolphe Gaiffe (1830-1903), consists of an interrupter designed to change the DC from a battery into high voltage pulses capable of giving a tingling electric shock to the 'patient', and several electrodes used to apply the shocks to different parts of the body. The supplied electrodes consist of a brass brush, a curved, pointed, internal electrode, and brass cylinders. Any of these electrodes can be screwed onto insulated handles to prevent the 'doctor' from receiving any shocks. The chemical battery is missing. Not surprisingly, this left the patient with a tingling sensation, which some claimed was effective in relieving their symptoms. The machine comes in a polished mahogany box with the label Appareil D'induction Volta Faradique Brevete SGDG. A Gaiffe a Paris. The inner lid has a warning notice in English."
