ELECTRIFIED
Mr. Isaac Sherman, of Somerset co., Md., a gentleman who had for many years been a paralytic, was recently suddenly restored to health. He had become so low that his life was despaired of. During a recent thunder storm he fell asleep, and to his utter amazement, found, when he awoke, that he had the entire use of his limbs. He arose from his bed, dressed himself, and walked about the house. Mr. N. remembers to have experienced a peculiar sensation in his whole system during his sleep, and from all the circumstances, no other conclusion can be arrived at, but that the agent of this wonderful cure was electricity.
