Lightning played a queer freak in
this city during the storm of last Sat
urday morning. 1t seems that forked
streak came down on West Joy street
and one fork hit Harry Shanks house at
10Y West Joy. and the other fork hit
his fathers house, three doors east.
The first mentioned stroke demolished
the chimney and blew SCOT over two or
three rooms of the house almost running
the carpet and curtains. The other
bolt that which struck Mr.. f. P. Shank's
house, knocked off some plastering and
some Notwithstanding and Miss Ollie
Lathram, who was sleeping in the house
at the time was slightly stunned.

sky but this is the first instance of our
knowledge where one stroke hit two

was doing his best but was being badly
beaten and was little excited when a

prominence.
This great medical authority des-
cribeS the action and use of the best
medicines recognized in the pharmaco-
peias of the United States, Great Brit
ain, and Germany, with numerous ref
ernce to others. In discussing the
properties of Life Root, this best of
authorities explains the wonderful
action of this medicine on the delicate
menstrual organism of women. The
remedy favors an increased discharge
when the menses are too scanty and
painful, and regulates the menstrual
function when irregular or too profuse.
Notice that the effect is to regulate and
restore normal functions of these or
gans, no matter whether the trouble be
suppressed menstruation, or it's OPP
pOsite, profuse.
This medical plant, Life Root, with
others of equal value, are found in Zoa-

higher authority regarding the value
and use of a medicine is known than

to prove conclusively to the most skept-
ical, the value of Zoa-Phora, we have

this prescription constantly in his pri-
vate practice for many years in treat
