Caption:
Depicted in this historic image was the interior of the Physical Therapy Room in the Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium. When in use, the staff nurse was placed in charge of all treatments involving the electrical appliances found in this clinical setting, that were therapeutically prescribed to treat the crippling conditions involving the hands and feet, (see PHIL #8853). The hospital was a self-contained compound with its own power plant, storehouse, patient treatment centers, like as this Physical Therapy suite, and a dental office, food-processing facilities, a cafeteria, as well as its own cemetery.
