In telling about it he says: "My suffering was terible; from the small of my back all around my stomach was lust as if I had been beaten with a club. I tried all kinds of plasters. belladonna, capcine and porous, without getting relief, and bought so-called electric belts, but none of of them did me any good. One day, while working near my daughter's house, my back pained me so badly that I had to quit. I went into the house and lay down for ease. My daughter had a bot tle of Sloan's Liniment in the house and she rubbed my back well with it and gave me some to take home. I used six and a half bottles of Sloan's 25c. Liniment and can do as much work now as any roan in the shop, although I am sixty-seven years old. I would not be without Sloan's Liniment for any considera tion and reccmemned it to anyone suffering pain One of the severest electrical storms to occur in this city for many years, struck here about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.
