  abstract: François Zanetti is interested here in a medical practice little explored by historians: the use of electricity. The transformation of the electric fluid in a separate drug appears in the middle of the XVIII th century as an intriguing novelty that gives to see the mysteries and wonders of nature. Remedy used in the treatment of chronic or nervous illnesses, arousing hopes and disappointments, electricity is associated with the cultural and social upheavals that animate the medical world and which crystallize the social and political tensions at the end of the Ancien Regime.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Fabula.
