Who was James Graham?
James Graham was a Scottish proponent of electrical cures, showman, and 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, Graham apparently believed in the efficacy of his unusual treatments. Roy Porter writing in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that Graham's sexological views were quite typical of the period.
