Dr J.
B. Worley was a doctor of unconventional medicine. He
believed in Electric Healing in which he could heal the
mind by giving it a little electric jump-start. He
started out as a very intelligent man, and had an
obsession with the new age of machinery.
He began
however to fuse these two worlds together, and through
his research he stated to follow the delusional practice
of Electric Healing. He thought that the human
brain was comparable to a machine and if the brain
should malfunction, you could, “Zap” it back into
place.

He opened a
Sanitarium to practice this healing at his residence in
Lower Falls. This practice did go over so well, he
started damaging his patients minds by the electroshock,
and then when they were finished with the “treatment”
he would lock them in the cellar of his clinic.
His machinery
obsession was unfortunately his very demise. During a
thunderstorm his clinic was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. Dr Worley ran back into the fire
to try to rescue his machines and perished. |
