drop out Of the lives OF all OF earth's

atone for his errors.

LIGHTNING FOR RHEUMATISM
Savannah Woman Claims to Have
Been Cured.

In the annals OF the medical profes-
sion OF Savannah there should be re-
corded the story OF the miraculous
cure OF Mrs. ". T. Leopold. OF No.
$40 Waldburg street, east. whose re-
covery from sciatic rheumatism
through the medium OF stroke OF
lightning was told in The Morning
News some weeks ago says The Sa-
vannah Morning News.
Even a week after the experience
with the lightning the medical profes-
sion was inclined to think that the re-
lief was only temporary, and that
with the first spell OF raity weather
the malady would return with I'M
abated vigor.
Mrs. Leopold herself half expected
the return OF the insidious disease.
and was only thankful for the respite
OF even few brief days from the pain
which made life miserable at times.
But when the days sped by and the
pain did not return Mrs. Leopold
grew more confident. and with the
fear OF the disease removed. her
health became much improved, and
her weight has begun to increase
very materially. The story OF her re-
covery reads like a patent medicine
testimonial to the efficacy OF chained
lightning a; s.:re for rheumatism.
and no family should be without a
bottle.
As already stated at the time OF the
cure. Mrs. Leopold was contemplating
a trip for her health, and even though
she is much better she will not deny
herself the pleasure OF an outing
which she feels sure will still further
improve her general health. SO with
in few weeks she will leave for one
OF the health giving resorts and when
fall comes she hopes to be fully re-
stored to the health which has eluded
her for the last ten years or more.
In the midst Of a storm bolt OF
lightning came down the chimney,
knocking off severa! feet of the brick
work, passed through the room in
which the family was sitting, and it is
supposed went out through window
and into the house OF a neighbor. fill
ing the house with smoke and sui
phurous odor.
As the electric current passed
through the room it stunned Mrs.
Leopold and her two children. and it
was fully ten minutes before they re-
covered themselves. Seeing smoke,
it was Mrs. Leopold's first thought
that the house was on fire, and for
getting her rheumatism, which had
been especially aggravating that eve
ming, she ran up the steps like girl.
When she came down she remember
cd that just little while before she
could hardly walk.
At first Mrs. Leopold was inclined
to believe that the relief was due to
fright and was only temporary, but
as time wore on and nothing more
serious than occasional numbness was
noticeable, she was compelled, gladly
enough, to conclude that the cure was
permanent.
