Faradic

Both these currents have a frequency of at least fifty cycles per second and will cause a tetanic contraction of voluntary muscle, so for this purpose, the two currents are interchangeable and therefore referred to as Faradic-type current.

Holly, in support of your comment about Charles Duchenne I also found this FAQ which seems to indicate that Duchenne may have been doing muscle stimulation experiments with a Faradic induction coil the FAQ later describes this as being done with DC, though in 1855 as, I believe you have Sabine doing in 1871.

This, however, could be an obscure variant as with Faradaic, Faradic.
