Description For the wife of the eminent scientist and inventor Dr Givings, the vagaries of the medical field have never held much allure. Until now. What is the treatment that he administers to females suffering from hysterical disorders? And what exactly is the important medical invention called The Chattanooga Vibrator?
Now, as the dawn of the age of electricity rises, her husband’s profession has finally piqued her interest. But Dr Givings fails to understand his wife’s sudden fascination with his practice. The remedial treatment that he administers to females suffering from hysterical disorders is an important medical invention and nothing more. The Chattanooga Vibrator is absolutely nothing for his healthy, happy wife to get her bloomers in a twist about.
