The use of electrotherapy goes back to the mid 1700's but was not used widely till the late 1800's. Early uses of electricity to help cure or stimulate parts of the body became a specialized business and a cure all for "what ails you" explosion in the late 1800's with all types of machines invented for every and all types of problems. 
Of course the earliest use of electricity is of course in the story by Marry Shelly's Frankenstein and the use of electricity to bring to life dead tissue, which was a "modern" medical theory of it's time in the early 1800's. Later the use of electricity would be part of the health craze of the late 1800's and of course in the use of therapy used to "help" certain medical issues. 
This machine use of Galvanic: galvanism which was the therapeutic use of direct electric current
Faradic: Faradic current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration ranging from 0.1 to 1 ms with a frequency of 50 to 100 Hz. Faradic current is surged to produce tetanic contraction and relaxation of the muscle.

The machine really did it all with every type of switch and light you can imagine and a large center meter to pin point your accuracy in you r therapy.
