AWFUL EFFECTS OF LIGHrNINo.--T Tene
Haute, Indiana Courier, describes the effect of
"a stroke of Lightning on man in the open prai-
rie, one mile and a half south east of Terre
Haute:
" His body was found in perfect state of
nudity having been divested Of every article of
clothing, which was torn in thousands ofpieces
by the fluid, without being in the least singed
His boot legs were torn into numerous strips
and the soles completely separated from the
bottoms. The hair from one side of his head
was taken off, the skin from one of his elbows
was slightly broken, and the nails of both his
great toes appeared to have been burst open,
where the fluid left the body, at which points
the bottoms of his boots seemed punctured as
with a rifle ball.
! As may be judged for such effects, the man
wasinstantly killed. .5 $3.50. s5o-

HEADACHE.

DAR. +. SPOHN, German physician Of
~ much note, having devoted his atten-
tion for some years to the cure and removal
of the causes Of NERVOUS, AND SICK
HEADACHE, has the satisfaction to make
known that he has remedy which by remov-
ing the causes cures effectually ard dpermanent-
ly this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache
unconstitutional incurable family complaint. DR..
s. assures them that they are mistaken, and
laboring under distress which they might not
only alleviate, but actually eradicate by the
use Of this remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is
entirely of different character from adverts-
ed patent medicines, and is not unpleasant to
the taste. h 7se M Is y
3 HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. ID
The extraordinary reputation that DR..
Spohn's remedy for this distressing compliant
is every day gaining is certainly matter Of
much astonishment. That SO much suffering
should have existed for ages without any dis
covery of an efectual preventative or cure, is
truly a subjectof much regret, but DR.. 8. now
assures the public that sucha remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous.
The principles upon which it.acts are simple
and plain. 1t is an admitted fact this COM
plant, whether called Sick Headache, or Ner-
.yous Headache arises primarily from the stom-
ach---those who think they have the Nervous
Headache may rest assured that this organ
the stomach, is the first cause, that the system
has been vitiated or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only through the same chan-
mel must they expect restoration Of the ma
tural and healthy functions Of the SYSTEM
This object, Dr.. Spohn's remedy is eminently
calculated to attain. The truth Of this posi-
ton cannot be- controversial, and the sooner
sufferers with the headache become convinced
of It, the sooner will their suferings end in
restoration of health. Dr. Spohn pledges his
Observation-Disclosures on this fact. The rem
