  Emma next worked as a model and dancer at the "Goddess of Health" (also known as the "Temple of Health") for James Graham, a Scottish "quack" doctor. The establishment's greatest attraction was a bed through which electricity was passed, giving paying patrons mild shocks. This supposedly aided conception, and many infertile couples paid high prices to try it. One patron (for pleasure rather than conception) was the 18-year-old Prince of Wales (later George IV), who sampled the bed with his mistress, Mary Robinson.
