New Method of Protecting Property 

 from Lightning. 



The Lightning Dispeller. 



Price, $20 to $30.— According to size. 



The Patent Lightning Dispeller is a conduc- 

 tor specially designed to dissipate the energy 

 of a lightning discharge, — to prevent its 

 doing harm, — placing something in its path 

 upon which its capacity for causing damage 

 may be expended. 



No recorded case of lightning stroke has 

 yet been cited against the principle o£ the 

 Dispeller. So far as known, the dissipation 

 of a conductor has invariably protected under 

 the conditions employed. 



Correspondence solicited.
