a REMARKABLE CASE.


DO 7Stcr Reporter of July 9th,
1Ss1 publishes the following in its
editorial columns
Our readers may recall the cir
cumstance of young clerk, named
Arthur Richold, falling insensible
on the Weatley 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 L. w.
Fisher, Esq; the solicitor who en-
pioyed 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 n man who is knocked down.
On coming to his senses in the soil
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 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 him
and found that his present malady
was exhaustion of the nervous sys-
TEN resulting from general debility,
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
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 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 costive
that it induced that most painful
and troublesome ailment-the piles.
He says there was some pain in
the sides Ind back and a 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 hi;
fall in the street he clearly perceived
| that the fit of giddiness was nothing
t more than a sign of the steady
l and deadly advance of the complaint
J which began in digestion and dys
5 pepsia. His story of how he went
? from one physician TO another il
: search of cure that his wife anC
little ones might not come to want i;
7 very pathetic and touching. Finally
he became too i'll to keep his situa
l ton and had to give it up. This
2 was q sad calamity. He was appall
g ed to think how he should be able tt
I live. But God raised up friends
t who helped to keep the wolf from
a the door. He then went to the sea
a side at -the-NaZe, bu
= neither the change, nor the ply
sicians who treated him there, die
any good. All being without avail
he visited London, with a sort o
!" vague hope that some advantage
might happen to him in the metro
polls. This was in October, 1885
How wonderful, indeed, are tn
ways of Providence, which dashe
down our highest hopes and thel
helps us when we least expect it
I While in London he stated his con
. dition to a friend, who strongly ad
vised him to try a medicine which h
. called Mother SeigePs CmatiU
> Syrup, saying it was genuine ant
! honest, and often cured when every
0 thing else had failed. He bough
9 bottle of chemist in Pimlico, ant
7 began using it according to the di
6 rections. He did this without faitl
5 or hope, and the public, may there
4 fore judge of his surprise and plea
2 sure when after taking few dose
| he felt great relief. He could ca
y better; his food distressed him less
. the symptoms we hayenamed abated
= the dark spots which had aoate'
: before his eyes like smuts of SCOT
2 gradually disappeared, and hi
. strength increased. Before thi
/ time his knees would knock togethe
whenever he tried to walk. So en-
couraged vas he now that he KEEP
ON using Mother Seigets Cmratic
Syrup until it ended in completed
2 curing him.
= In speaking of his wonderful re
. covery Mr.. Richold says it mad
8 him think of poor Robinson Crusoe
