London CAM Advertiser.
The Electrical Girl Who Lives
Again.

1t is now about three years since the
Advertiser published the story of the
Electrical Girl in the township of Rom
ney. The tale passed through nearly
all Of our exchanges, and occasionally
re-appears now. The story in brief
was that the girl was so highly charged
with electricity that she could not ham
die any article of steel. She was a ver-
liable magnet, and needles, knives, &C.,
would cling to any part Of her person.
The publication excited a good deal of
curiosity concerning the girl, and many
people called upon her at her home.
Recently she was taken ill, and the local
physicians were called in. She describ-
ed her peculiar sensations. In her
knee joints severe pains were felt
shooting at intervals, as though bat
terry were at work and giving her in
termittent shocks. The knee began to
swell, and the pains spread to other
parts of her body, generally becoming
permanent in the joints. All the doc
tors could dOwas Of very little avail. Oc-
casionally slight relief would be obtain
ed, but in wet or murky weather the
pains would redOuble in violence. FL
nally when the doctors had given up
treating her, and regarded her simply
as physiological wonder, tramp call
ed one day at the house. While he was
being given meal, he was told about
and asked permission to see the girl,
He had been soldier in the Crimean
army, and while working in the trench.
es around st. Petersburg he contracted
rheumatism in its most severe form,
and noticing that the girls symptoms
agreed with his, he pronounced her to
be suffering from rheumatism. The
parents Of the girl were 0verjoyed, but
were again cast down as they recalled
the fact that the doctors had said they
could do nothing for her. Why said
the tramp do you want to bother the
doctors about rheumatism? Get bot
tie Of st. Jacobs Oil. 1t cured me and
will cure any case. I know plenty of
old soldiers who have been cured of
chronic rheumatism by the use If st.
Jacobs Oil" The advice was taken,
and the so-called Electrical Girl is to-
day prepared to add her testimony to
the thousands Of others who bear wit
ness to the efficacy Of the Great Ger.
man Remedy.
To the Editor Of tbs London (Con.) Ad.
Uertiser.
DEAR SIR:-As you have given ME
good deal Of nOtOriety by writing of
me as the Electrical Girl. thought
would write to tell you of my condition.
Here follows the recital
which is summarized above.) My pa
rents obtained bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, and to it's effects 1 owe the fact
that l am now able to walk without
pain, and the swellings in the joints
have all disappeared.
Yours very truly,
