Acupuncture

This first American publication on acupuncture was translated from the French by Franklin Bache, a great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin, "believing … that a short treatise on Acupuncturation, from the growing importance of the remedy, and the great attention bestowed upon it in France, could not fail to be an acceptable present to American physicians…. Without going too much into detail, it imparts every requisite information, to enable any practitioner to employ the remedy." Bache experimented with acupuncture on inmates at the State Penitentiary in Philadelphia during this period.
