In the annals of the medical profes sion of Savannah there should be re corded the story of the miraculou! cure of Mrs. W. T. Leopold, of No 39 Waldburg street. east, whose re covery from sciatic rheunatisn through the medium of a stroke ol lightning was told in The MorninE News some weeks ago says The Sa vannah 'Morning News. Even a week after the experienc" with the lightning the medical profes sion was inclined to think that the re lief was only temporary, and thal with the first spell of raihy weathei the malady would return with un abated vigor. Mrs. Leopld herself half expectei the return of the insidious discease and was only thankful for the respitt of even a few brief days from the pair which made life miserable at times But when the days sped by and th, pain did not return Mrs. Leopol( grew nore c--nident. and with thi fear of the disease removed. hei health became much improved. ani her weight has begun to increas< very materially.

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 ning, she ran up the steps like a girl When she came down she remember ed that just a little while before she could hardly' walk. At first Mrs. Leopold was inclined to believe that the relief was due tc 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 wvas permanent.
