KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

The Medical Register, the organ OF
the Medical College of Virginia, edited
by DR.. E. G. Levy, contains among
other valuable features in TIE June
number very interesting and instruc
tive paper on death by Lightning,
by DR.. William H. Taylor.
DR.. Taylor has been coroner of Rich
mond for twenty five years, and he
says that, Notwithstanding Il stcs
show death by lightning to be ipcreas-
ing, it is not 80 in Richmond, aud that
the risk there is very small.
Two young ladies were killed by a
stroke of lightning fifty years
ago in house on Church Hill.
From that time until June S, 1881, no
au henticated deaths by lightning oc-
Cured in that city. At that time ne
gro was struck aud killed on sand
bar at the foot of Seventeenth street.
DIR. Taylor's second case was white
man killed June1S, 1896 He was kilt
ed at the beginning of the storm, while
at work with shovel at the west end
of the city.
DR.. Taylor speaks OF a remarkable
instance OF what was apparently
death by lightning in Henrico county
Juue is, 1892. A man named Dale
Emmett, woman and three children
were found dead and the house on fire.
DR.. Taylor says:
81 proceeded to make careful scru
tiny of the room, and of the house, and
Of its surroundings, and was astonished
to find that nowhere was there to be
seen any unequivocal mark. of vista
zion ofiightnlng. Making due allow
ance for the great oblterative powers
of fire, and the still greater ones Of an
earnest salvage corps, it was, neverthe-
less, almost incredible that there
would not remain some clearly discern
ible trace of the lightning's entrance,
or of its transit, or of its exit. But
there was none.
in order to throw additional light
on this obscure problem | availed my
self Of fact which has been sometimes
observed in connection with light
ming stroke; namely its power to rem
der objects made Of iron magnetic. l
accordingly experimental with iron
fillings-which were themselves first
conclusively proved to be non-msg-
netic-and found that, indeed, tie
stove in the bedroom, as we'll as each
OF its detached parts, was strongly mag
netic, as were likewise in a less degree
the CRATE, the steel springs of the bed,
the hinges of the WindoW.shutter ers, and
the stove in the room below. So that
as far as this experiment applies it
would seem that the house bad been
really struck by lightning. But the ex.
pertinent is not altogether conclusive,
for, as is we'll known, iron may become
magnetic by mere position and by va
rious accidents"

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and
one of the most widely known men in
the State, was cured of rheumatism af-
ter three years of suffering. He says ::
81 have not sufficient command of
language to convey any idea of what [
suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me; and my
friends were fully convinced that no.
thing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. As this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after | be-

began to decrease, the pain to leave,
