DREdDRIL THLINDEIt STORM.

Ors Monday fe'nnikht, after a day unufualli hot,
came on at Longtown, between eight and nine
in the dening, the molt continued and alarming
thunder form ever remembered by the oldeit inhabi.
tant. The flafhes of the electric fluid were indeed
inceffant, illuminating the whole atmnfraere with
their extreme effulgence, and accompaniefi with tor-
rents of rain. Ft om the commencement of the form,
until near midnight, the thunder feemed but one con-
tinued tremend,u, peal, without the leaf inter mason,
which kept not only the windows, but even the walls ('t
the houfes, in conflant vibration: awful indeed—but
to him who could contemplate it with a philofophic
mind, grand and magnificent !
Confiderably louder than the ref was one peal,
which feemed to burg upon the very roofs of the
houfes; when a ball of fire entered the chimney of a
labouring man, of the name of Scott, which it threw
down in every direCtion, broke a very Prong kettle-
which was over the fire place, (the extremities of
which, where it was fraftured, in the centre, were
forced into a direCtion, fo as to point (trait into the
room, like a crane turned upon its pivot) and drove
feveral bricks from the chimney upon a bed where
the poor man's wife lay with an infant in her arms.
The child, for tome time, appeared motionlef, and
the face of the mother was fomewhat fcorched ; but,
happily, they are both I ecovered.
The elearic fluid then appears to have direeted its
eourfe between the .wall and the cielng, forcing it
(outwards) from its perpendicular, until it reached
the door, where it molt probably direeted its courfe
downwards, the door being fplit from the top to the
bottom, as if cut with a taw.—Every pane of glafs
was fhivered to atoms, and the frame of the windows
thrown into the fireets and broken to pieces ; karccly
one article of furniture was lift in its place. A tin
lamp, a candleßick, and a pewter pot, were all melted.
An adjacent houfe alfo (-offered, but not to In great
an extent as the other._ Part of the roof as torn
off, and.the walls and cieting, with force Ittrniture,
confiderably injured. A parfon who lives immedi.
ately under, (the injury being chiefly confined to the
upper (torey) was (truck to the ground, and for tome
time remained fpeechlefs ; but he is fence rec,,vered.
So great was the confternation of the three families,
that they can give no diftind account 9f the matter.
All they can fay is, that their bottles appeared en•
veloped in fmcke, and that the knell of fulpliur was
Co powerful, they found the greateft difficulty of re-
fpiration for a confiderable time after they had reco.
vered their recolleCtion. We hear of two or three
perfons having been (truck down with the lightning,
but thank Gnu no lives have been loft in that place.
Same day the inhabitants of Shap, Wetimoreland,
experienced the molt dreadful thunder norm that has
happened for many years, accompanied with a heavy
fall of hailaones, many of which meafured In circum-
ference three inches and a half. In one houfe 36
panes of glafs were broken by them. The lame day
the Thermometer, in the open air, flood at 82.
Same day came on at Dumfries, about eight P. M.
which continued until one next morning, the moll
tremendous Rorm of lightning and rain ever ken
there, but without thunder.

Nswcasrxi.—The night of Monday fe'nrtight
was one continued fcene of lightning and thunder,
but at fo great a (finance as not to caufe any ferious
alarm to the inhabitants of this town. On Tuefday
morning, however, about eight o'clock, the form
itpproached, and was accompanied by the moll tre.
ntendous (power of hail and rain ever witneffed per.
haps in this coutory. The rain fell in Inch torrentc,
that in the fhort (pace of fifteen minutes the wholt
town was in a fate of inundation—when it fortu
nately abated, or the confequences would have been
to a great number of perfons, beyond the power of
language, diftreffing. 'Die uniting of the waters
from the more elevated freets, was particularly awful,
whence they flowed acrofs the Sandhi!' to the river
with uncommon rapidity, carrying away every thing
moveable that fell within their current. Several low
moms, (hops, and cellars, were overfinwed. and confi-
derable damage fut6ined by fume individuals. Two
boys were nearly carried over the quay by the force
of the water, but were fortunately faced. Two men
were (truck down by the lightning on Gatefhead
Fell, but without receiving much injury. At Btance.
peth Cattle the hot.houfes received font:. damage ;
and, at Ealt Rainton, 54 panes of glafs were broken
in one window, and feveral in others, by the hail ;
the rain alto ran in fuch a torrent, as to carry two
carts (landing by the road-fide to a confiderable
di-fiance. Several gnofeberry bufhes were torn up
by the roots, and the bloffoms on many fruit trees
entirely beaten off. At Bradley Hall, two oxen
belonging to Mr. Jackfon were (truck in a field
by the lightning, one of which was killed, and the
other much burned. One man was alto much hurt
by the gable end of a houfe near that place being
thrown down, and another by forme of the machinery
of an engine falling on him. '!'he roof of a dove
cot, belonging to H. Grey, Efq. of Bamburgh, was
partly thrown down, and the door polls rent. One
of the peals of thunder was Co loud as to make Barn-
burgh Cattle (hake.

A few days fince, one of the leaden belonging to
His Majsrry's Carriage fell, with the Poltillion,
near Brentford, and cut his knee, but proceeded to
town, where the King's Farrier pronounced the
wound incurable, and the animal was (hot on 'Fuel
day, by order of the Duke of Moo moss ; two balls
from a horfe pin()) perforated the head, and the heart
was fuppofed to be dead, but upon a groom's going
into the liable fome time after, be was on his legs,
and it was found neceffary to flow him a frond time !
A perfon, aged 36, had a Imall Scropliulous Ul.
aration in her hand, giving her much pain; it then
broke out in her writ}, both her (boulders, and her
knee, each Ulceration difcharging much, and not dif-
pofed to heal ; it then affeaed her right elbow ; and
thefe ulcerations, with a difpofition to general debi
lity, (hefuffered for twelve years. Her knee was healed
in the Worcefler infirmary, and the experienced fome
benefit while a patient for a fht:rt time in St Bartholo.
mew's Hofpital, where (he made applicatidn for the
benefit of SPILSBURR'S PATENT A NTISCnRRUTIC
DROPS, at the Difpetifatory, No. 15, Soho fqoare,
London. By the application of the Drops for fix
month,, her ulcers gradually healed, the regained
her firength and appetite. It is now a twe!vemorth,
and flae remains perfealy well. Any information of
the above fact may be obtained at No. 9, DI.II:C'S

fponlibility deviate from the general Syftem by the
of a particular branch, the fandion of lung continued fuccefles 0
the be ft criterion of fuperiority.
Thirteen years have I devoted my pra,ftice to the exchtfive treat.
menc of Three l'iferdcrs, and the fitecefsiul rcfult of my plan gives
me additional irdour to oppore, as Er as 1 am able, the ravages of
thofc Co:nplaints which arc the molt important in the Catalogue
of Human Infirmities.

After inithaion Into every Branch, as an Army Surgeon,
formed a with at an early period of practice to relent' individuate
from the ignorance of uneducated nim, or the cqually davvroue
precipitancy of general Pradizio ars.

1 he Th;ee I.iifirderg, to the cure of which I have devoted my
attention, comprife every fperiesor VFN I R LA!. INFECTION,
whether of a recent or long duration ~ 1 ly, all kiuds of debility,
whether arifing front the habits of fchool boys. or the indu'gences
of mature age ; and,lattly, that der togetwnt of the Nil= in wo•
men which !. called BARRE NNESS, or STF.RILITY.
Numerous IWcaft-s arc the refult of ignor.,nce, or hafte in the
treatment of a Grnple Gonorrhea ; and it not unfrequently hap.
pens that the feeds of Life are puifoned by the Indiferetion of an
unguarded hour By a fupetior methol fuch Complaints:ire eafily
cured; and, even where others have failed, I truft that I may pre-
fume to offers radical re-eftablifhment.

Fcw, however, are the cafes of complicated (Misers in this M.
order, compared witL the calamitous ficuations of men, who, front
an indulgence In a folitiry vice, or the prevalent gaieties of a
fafhiorable life, acquire that nate of debility which is the una-
voidable confequence of Inch pernitious habits.
Where the unhappy (offerer broods over his mifery, but care.
fully conceals his misfortune, it 'may be rime correlation for him
to know, that although it be an objed of doubt or uncertainty
with other praditioners, the removal of thefe deficiencies by the
gradual progrefs of renovation, is the acquirooeut of my experi-
ence. If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early counteraction
of thisL!.guid Rate; and in thefe cafes no great difficulty will occur.
But where this deficiency has for years exifteti, a proper perfe.
verance is indifpenfably ref:tune to revive the numbering (parka
of life, and to re.aninsare the conftitution.
MARRIED WOMEN, who have long been difappointed Itt
their expectations of a faintly, may be affured, that in moft in.
fiances' filch defeat are curable by Medical !kill.
Thef ecrecy which is fu effential to my undertaking, and tile'
qualifications which I have prefumed to. itate, form the bafis oP
my lir, tenfions, and in coincidence with Inch this intimation it
given, that Mr. Bree may be eonfulted perfunally, or by Letters

IN the fpring of 1794 I was afflitted with a Vene-
real Complaint, which I treated with indifference for five
months; but was then obliged to apply to a regular Phyfician,who
put a temporary (top to the virulence of the difeafe (by mercu-
rial application) for fomc time: but growing, in fpite of all medi-
cine and the advice of the fiat Gentlemen of the Faculty here,
worfe and worfe, for two years, I was reduced to a Rate almoft
unparallekd and beyond defcription , being an entire leper,and ulce-
rated from head to foot. My head, throat, mouth, note, lers,
arms, &c. have been alternately in danger of becoming ufclefs n-•
in Ilion, I have had from 20 to jo eating ulcers on my body, and
nearly totally deprived of fight. It would be voluminous to par-
ticularifc all my cafe—fuffice.it to fay, there never was, or ever
will be, out of a more dangerous, or of a mote complicated na-
ture. I was Ion,; looked upon by my friends, and imairined my.
