A REMARKABLE CASE.

DoncaStcr Reporter of July 9th,
1887, publishes the following in its
editorial columns
Our readers may recall the cir
cumstancc of a young clerk, named
Arthur Richold, falling insensible
on the Weatlcy Lane in this town
some time ago, and being picked
up, as he continued perfectly help
less, and taken in n cab by two
gentlemen to the office of f. w.
Fisher, Esq; the solicitor who en-
ployed 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
and was on his way back to his
work, when suddenly his head was
in whirl and he fell in the street
like man who is knocked down.
On coming to his senses in the soli-
citor's office he thought what this
might mean, and feared he was
going TO have fit of illness, which
we all know is a very dreadful
thing for u poor man with family
to care for.
With this in his mind he at once
sought the best medical advice,
telling the doctors how he had been
attacked. They questioned himS
and found that his present malady
was exhaustion of the nervous sys-
TEN resulting from general debility,
indigestion, and dyspepsia of q
chronic nature. This in turn had
been caused by confinement to his
desk and grief at the loss of dear
friends by death. The coming on
of this strange disease, as described
by Mr.. Richold, must be of inter-
est both to sick and well. He had
noticed for several years previously,
in fact, that his eyes and face be-
gan to have a yellow look; there
was sticky and unpleasant slime
on the gums and teeth in the
morning; the tongue coated; and
the bowels so bound and cQstive
that it induced that most painful
and troublesome ailment-the piles.
He says there was some pain in
the sides and back and sense of
fulness on the right side, as though
the liver were charging, which
proved to be the terrible fact.
The secretions from the kidneys
would be scanty and high-coloured,
with kind of gritty or sandy
, deposit after standing.
, These things had troubled Mr..
Richold long time, and after his
5 fall in the street he clearly perceived
5 that the fit of giddiness was nothing
| more than a sign of the steady
: and deadly advance of the complaint,
? which began in digestion and dys-
pepsia. His story of how he went
from one physician TO another in
5 search of cure that his wife and
| little ones might not come to want is
very pathetic and touching. Finally
: he became too i'll to keep his situa-
ton and had to give it up. This
was a sad calamity. He was appali-
: ed to think how he should be able to
live. But God raised up friends
| who helped to keep the wolf from
1 the door. He then went to the sea-
. side at Walton-on-the-Naze, but
neither the change, nor the ply
5 sicians who treated him there, die
t any good. All being without avail
: he visited London, with a sort Of
f. vague hope that some advantage
might happen to him in the metro
polls. This was in October, 1885
Il How wonderful, indeed, are thu
ways of Providence, which dashe'
down our highest hopes and ther
helps us when we least expect it
While in London he stated his con
dition to friend, who strongly ad
vised him to try medicine which HI
6 called Mother ,SeigeFS Cmrativ
6 Syrup, saying it was genuine ant
b honest, and often cured when every
3 thing else had failed. He bough
= bottle of chemist in Pimlico, an,
u began using it according to the di
30 rections. He did this without fait
= or hope, and the public, may there
Dc fore judge of his surprise and plea
: sure when after taking few dose
"a he felt great relief. He could ea
Q better; his food distressed him less
Il the symptoms we have named abated
30 the dark spots which had tloate
Is before his eyes like smuts of 500
y gradually disappeared, and h
L. strength increased. Before TIL
70 time his knees would knock togethe
Is whenever he tried to walk. So ell
- couraged vas he now that he keI
II on using Mother SeigeI'S Curatia
Syrup until it ended in completed
curing him.
In speaking of his wonderful r
IL covery Mr.. Richold says it mac
Is him think of poor Robinson Cruso

~ On his island in the SEA. and added
