Many\\nof these attempts proved unsuccessful; but nothing daunted, in\\nAugust, 1885, he commenced to sink a shaft at the foot of a moun-\\ntain, the top of wdnch, hundreds of feet above the Shaft, is capped\\nwith huge borders of rock that indicated the presence of alum. The\\nascent to the top of the mountain is precipitous, but, once reached, a\\ncommanding view of the country for miles around is presented, and\\na more i^leasing one can hardly be found in any State.\\nTHE FIRST CURE.\\nAt the time Hillman commenced his search for alum he was in\\nbad health, but his energy did not desert him. He was suffering\\nfrom severe rheumatism and dyspepsia, and in the hope that the\\nexercise would relieve him he w^ent into the shaft daily and worked\\nan hour or so. A few feet from the surface a fine specimen of alum\\nrock was found, and through this, w^ith the aid of drill and blast, the\\nwork was pushed.\\nIn handling the drill Hillman felt a peculiar sensation, similar to\\nthat experienced from a shock given by a galvanic battery. Some-\\ntimes, said he, the hands could hardly hold the drill. To my\\nastonishment, he continued, I found my dyspepsia greatly im-\\nproved and my rheumatism completely gone. I persevered, and\\nfound myself restored to perfect health. I found water at the depth\\nof fifteen feet, and cut under the mountain side of the Rock, at right\\n\u00c2\u00bb\u00c2\u00abngles, a square hole in the rock, as a receptacle for the water. I\\ntook a medical gentleman with me to get his opinion of the matter,\\nbut he did not give me any very great encouragement. I went to\\nAtlanta in the spring of 1886, leaving the Shaft covered.", "height": "2974", "width": "2382", "jp2-path": "rocksthatshock00hill_0016.jp2"}, "17": {"fulltext": "13\\ngalloway s delight.\\nI returned in September, 1886, and again visited the Rock. The\\nold ladder I had left in the well was almost rotten, but otherwise\\nthere was no difference in the looks of the place. I had been think-\\ning a great deal about the curative properties of the place as shown\\nin my own case, and I thought I would make other tests of it. A\\ncolored man named Charles Calloway had been suffering from\\nsevere rheumatism. His right arm was glued to his body, and he\\nhad no use of it. After a great deal of persuasion I induced him to\\ngo into the Shaft, and in ten days he was shoving a jack-plane.\\nThere is the man now; ask him about it.\\nCalloway grinned from ear to ear as he spoke of the good the\\nRock had done him.\\nSimilar cures of dread dyspepsia were also made. The next\\nman was Mr. John P. Moore, a thriving farmer of the neighbor-\\nhood, said Mr. Hillman, and he was cured completely. And\\nthen came Captain Joseph W. White, travelling passenger agent of\\nthe Georgia railroad. He was delighted with his relief from rheu-\\nmatism. And later, Mr. A. P. ^N orman, assistant travelling agent,\\ncame down, and was made happy with the results of the visit.\\nMISERABLE ACCOMMODATIONS.\\nThe press took hold of the matter, and sufferers from various\\nStates came to see the wonderful electric cure.

Still the people\\npoured in by hundreds many out of curiosity, others for relief.\\nThe latter begged Hillman not to shut down, and declared that\\nthey were willing to put up with anything to be cured. He con\\nsented, determining to prosecute his improvement as best he could\\nunder the circumstances. A force of hands was at once put to work\\nto enlarge the Shaft to such dimensions as would accommodate the\\npeople.

I had the best physicians I could\\nget. I finally read about the Electric Rock in the Constitution^ and\\nmade up my mind to try it.\\nCONVINCED BEYOND CAVIL.\\nMy friends laughed at the idea, but I came ahead, and I am\\ncured.
