Death by lightning in the Town OF
Wingville.

During the storm which visited
this locality on the morning of the
9TH inst, the house of Mr.. VIM. Gas
ton was struck by lightning, instant
ly killing his youngest daughter, q
girl about Is years fage. The light.
ming struck the north end of the
building, following the chimney to its
union with the stove-pipe, and then
passing down to the floor, between
the ceiling, SCATTERING the wall, win
dow, partition and adjacent parts.
Miss CASTOR and young who lives
with the family, had been up stairs
to close the windows, and were re-
turning, when, on the landing at the
head OF the stairs, the unfortunate
lady being in the advance, raised the
blind that partially covered the wins
dow, and seemingly, the instant she
did so, the shock occurred, and she
fell dead at the feet of her companion,
who was much stunned, but not
thrown off his feet. Tho current
passed down through the room be-
low and within a very short distance
OF brother OF the deceased, shock
ing but not injuring him. Mrs. Gas
ton, who is an invalid, was reclining
on sofa in the same room with her
son and was thrown with much force
to the floor, receiving however, no
injury. No mark or scar was per>
ceptible on the body of the young
lady killed, or any other visible effect
than the ripping the gaiter from her
foot.

DEAR SIR: In regard to the question asked me
as to my opinion about Buchu, I would say that
have used and sold the article in various forms for
the past thirty years. do not think there is any
form or preparation of it have not used, or known

aware, as well as myself, that it has been extern
sively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the eputation 1t has &C.
quired, in my judgment is warranted by the facts.
I have seen and used, as before stated, every
form of Buchu-the powdered leaves, the simple
decoction, tincture, fluid extracts; and am not
cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all
equal to yours. Twelve years experience ought,
think, to give me the right to judge of its merits;
and, without prejudice or partially, give yours
precedence over all others.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

In the year 1916 the writer of this article era-
barked in the drug business In the City Of Phila-
delphia, and while thus engaged made several ex-
perments in regard to the most desirable mode Of
preparing Fluid Extracts. His efforts being sue
cessful-tne articles Being approved and used by
the Medical Faculty--he was DESTROYS of placing
them before the public; but hesitated for some
time before concluding to resort to newspaper ad-
vertising, knowing of the prejudices existing
against using advertised Medicines. But through
the advice of friends and those who had used the
preparations, this objection was overcome.
Commencing in small way after IS years. ex-
erions, the popularity of my articles has extended
to all parts of the United States, and widely
through foreign countries-and this in the face of
much opposition. Every means has been resorted
to by unprincipled dealers since their merit and
success have been known--such as advertising
larger bottles at less price, censuring all other
preparations, and even copying my advertise
ments; but am HAPPY to state that out of the
many who have resorted TO this none have been
successful.
Knowing that many may read this article who
are unacquainted with me, I append remarks from
those of my native city whose names are known
in all parts of the world.
