lith, 1887, publishes the following
its editorial columns:—

" Our readers may 'recall the. oir-
Clllllstances of a young clerk,. named
Arthur Richold, falling insensible
in 'Wheatley Lane in this town some
time ago, and being picked up, as he
continued perfectly helpless, and
taken in a cab by two gentlemen
to the office of F. W. Fi,sher, Esq.;
the solicitor who employed him.
On restoring, him to consciousness
it was ascertained that he was
afflicted with what seemed to be an
incurable disease. When he was
able to speak he said he had been ;
to his dinner and was on his way
btick to his. work when suddenly his
irad wa in a whirl, and•he fell in
tlie street like 'a
man v.v.h.o is knoci(ed
down. On coming to his ,senses in
the solicitor's office he 'thought
what this might mean, and feared

he was going to have a fit of illness,
which we all know is a very dread-
ful thing for a poor man with a
family to care for.
" With this in his mind, he at once
sought the best medical advice, tell-
JUg doctors how he had been
attacked. They questioned him,
and found that his present malady
was exhaustion of the nervous
system, resulting from general de-
bility, indigestion, and dyspepsia
of a chronic nature. This in turn
had been caused by confinement
to his desk, and grief at the loss
of dear frieEds by death. The
doming on of his strange disease,
as described by Mr. Richold, must
be of interest both to sick and
well. te Tie had noticed for several
years previously, in fact, that his
eyes and face began to have a yellow
look, there was a sticky and un-
pleasant slime on the gums and teeth
in the morning, the tongue coated,
and the bowels so bound and cos-
tie that it induced that most
painful ailment—hemorrhoids.. He
says there was some pain in the
sides and back, and a sense of
fulness on the right. side as though
the liver were enlarging, which
proved to be the terrible fact.
"These things had troubled Mr.
Richold along time, and after his
fall in the street he clearly perceived
that his fit of giddiness was nothing
more than the sign of the steady
and deadly advance of the com-
plaint which began in indigestion
and dyspepsia dis story of how he
