This odd looking contraption, also from the Bakken Museum, is an early 1900s, historic EKG machine used to track the electrical energy from a heart. Today's EKG machine uses disposable patches attached to wires to read the electrical pulses, the EKG machine in the photo, the hands and feet were placed in sodium chloride baths as a means of conduction. We've come a long way in medicine.

Scary, seeing that I am glad I didnt live back then.
I know I would prefer NOT to be attached to this early model. Looks pretty barbaric by today's standards!
