UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 04: Engraving by Laplante, of an �Electric machine with sulphur globe, according to the model in fashion about 1754�. The electrostatic machine produced an electrical charge through the manual rubbing and rotating of a sulphur ball. Some early uses of electricity were medical; it was used to treat paralysis and muscle spasms, and to control heart rates.
