I think the medical device is a good idea.
The only one I know is the T.E.N.S. it is in use to this day.

Here's a good link to a drawing of her medical device.
Did she have any children?
What is her birth year?

Hi,
I have just joined this list in the hope that someone may have information
on a Gt.Aunt missing inasmuch I could find nothing about her
after the UK Census 1861. It has now come to light that SOPHIA ANN LEE
emigrated to Australia in Feb 1866. In 1868 she married RICHARD
HETHERINGTON in Melbourne but the marriage broke up, it is believed, in Fiji
about 1888. A little later, I am told she added CARRUTHERS
to her name because husband Richard had inherited from his mother LOUISA
CARRUTHERS. Sophia, therefore, then became Sophia Hetherington
Carruthers.
We next hear she has invented, in 1893, an electrical machine to aid
nervous aches and pains (briefly that is what it did) She successfully had
it Patented and exhibited it at the Chicago Trade Fair that year. After
that the trail goes cold and nothing further can be found about her.
If anyone has information it would be most welcome
Doreen Jackson
