a REMARKABLE CASE,

y
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 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 whrl and he fell in the street
like man who is knocked down.
On coming to his senses in the soli-
ctor'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 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 costive
that it induced that most painful
and troublesome ailment-the piles.
He says there was some pain in
the sides and back and q 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 a kind of gritty or sandy
deposit after standing.
These things had troubled Mr..
Richold long time, and after his
fall in the street he clearly perceived
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
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 sad calamity. He was appali.
ed to think how he should be able tC
live. But God raised up friend;
who helped to keep the wolf from
the door. He then went TO the sea
side at Walton-on-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 0
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 the
helps us when we least expect il
While in London he stated his con
,. dition to friend, who strongly at
vised him to trya medicine which h
called Mother SeigePS Cmatiy
Syrup, saying it was genuine an
| honest, and often cured when every
3 thing else had failed. He bougt
s u bottle of chemist in Pimlico, an
0 began using it according to the d
6 rections. He did this without fat
8 or hope, and the public, may there
8 fore judge of his surprise and pie;
. sure when after taking a few dose
i he felt great relief. He could c;
o better; his food distressed him less
: the symptoms we have named abated
g the dark spots which had floate
3 before his eyes like SHUTS of 500
3 gradually disappeared, and h
/ strength increased. Before tn
| time his knees would knock togeth'
3 whenever he tried to walk. So el
8 couraged vas he now that he kel
o on using Mother SeigeI's Curdtt
6 Syrup until it ended in completed
Q curing him.

on his island in the sea; and addet
