Abstract
As the season of thunderstorms and lightning accidents is now approaching, I hope you will kindly allow me to make known through your columns the fact that, in the interests of science, the Institute of Medical Electricity is very desirous of obtaining authentic information concerning lightning accidents, whether fatal or otherwise. I should therefore esteem it a favour if some of the many friends of humanity among your readers will assist us to investigate these phenomena by sending me such particulars of accidents of this nature as they may have personal or trustworthy knowledge of as soon after they occur as possible.
