Walther is credited with performing numerous experiments involving medical galvanism.

Galvanism is electricity by a medical reaction.

Now, their toys are steam and galvanism.

They were by far outnumbered by recent volumes on chemistry, electricity, galvanism, and natural philosophy.

In biology, galvanism is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current.

There were, however, two new fields of research; galvanism (as use of electrical current was at first termed) and mesmerism.

Did the wires generate the galvanism?

One scholarly article relates the influence of Galvanism and Mesmerism on Brown's work.

Galvani coined the term animal electricity to describe the phenomenon, while contemporaries labeled it galvanism.

Darwin's experiments in galvanism were an important source of inspiration for Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein.

Medical Application of Galvanism.

They were running about in an aimless, unconcerted manner like mummies impelled by a failing galvanism.

Luigi Galvani publishes his discoveries in "animal electricity" (Galvanism).

Today, the study of galvanic effects in biology is called electrophysiology, the term galvanism being used only in historical contexts.

Hallerian physiology was a theory competing with galvanism in Italy in the late 18th century.

On 25 April 1801, Davy gave his first lecture on the relatively new subject of 'Galvanism'.

Robert experimented with various areas of physics, giving public demonstrations about his research into galvanism and optics in the 1790s and early 19th century.

Noting that, by 1846, the term Galvanism had been replaced by electricity, Léger wrote that year:

The phenomenon was dubbed galvanism, after Galvani, on the suggestion of his peer and sometime intellectual adversary Alessandro Volta.

Beside these fields of activity Simon did - at that time in Europe well known - research work in the field of Electrochemistry and Galvanism.

The general public were content to find the explanation of the movements in spirits, animal magnetism, odic force, galvanism, electricity, or even the rotation of the earth.

In one of these, a medical student named Dr. Chillingworth applies galvanism to Varney's hanged corpse and revives him.

Though his continued research did not find new discoveries, his manuals of Electricity, Galvanism and Magnetism were published between 1848 and 1856 and went through several editions.
