Our readers may recall the circumstance
Of : Young clerk, named Arthur Richoid.
falling insensi0Ie on the WheatIey Lane ii
this town some time ago, and being picked
I'D, a. he continued perfectly helpless, and
taken IN 4 cab by two gentlemen 70 the
Office OF z W Fisher, Esq, the solicitor
who employed him. On restoring him TO
consciousness II vas ascertained that
he was afflicted with what seemed to De an
incurabIe disease. When he was able 10
speak he said be had been 70 his dinner
and was On his way back 10 his work,
when suddenly his head was IN 4 whirl and
he fell in the street ike 4 man who +
knocked down. On coming 70 his senses
in the solicitors Office he thought what
this might mean, and feared he Wa going
70 have a III OF illness, which we all know
Is very dreadful thing for poor man
with q family 70 care for
With this in his mind he at once sought
the best medical advice, telling the doctors
how he had been attacked They ques-
toned him and found that his present
rnaIady was exhaustion OF the nervous
system, resulting from general debility,
indigestion and dyspepsia Of 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, a. described by
Mr.. RichoId. must be OF interest both TO
sick and well He had noticed for several
years previously, in fact, that his eyes and
face began TO have yellow look; there
was sticky and unpleasant slime on the
gums and teeth in the morning; the
tongue coated; and the bowels 50 bound
and costfye that it induced that most pain
full and troublesome aiIment-the piles.
He says there was some pain in the sides
and back and sense OF fulIne7s on the
right side, as though the liver were enIarg-
ing which proved To be u terrible fact
The secretiOns from the kidneys would be
scanty and high-coIoredi with 4 kind Of
gritty or sandy deposit after standing.
These things had troubled Mr.. RichoId
long time. and after his fall IN the street
he clearly perceived that his Il Of giddi
ness was nothing more than sign Of the
steady and deadly advance OF the COM
plant, which began in Indigestion and dys-
pepsia. His story Of how ne went from
one physician TO another in search OF q
cure that his wife and little ones might
not come TO want i very pathetic and
touching Finally he became too iii t.
keep his situation and had to give it up.
/ This vas a sad calamity. He was appalled,
TO think OF how he should De able to live.
But God raised up friends who helped to
keep the wolf from the door He then
went to the seaside at Walton on-the-Naze,
but neither the change nor the physicians
who reated him there, lid any good. All
being without avail he visited London.
with a sort Of vague hope that some al
vantage might happen 10 him in the me-
tropOiis This was in October, 1875.
How wonderful. indeed, are the ways Of
Providence, which dashes down our hgh
est hopes and then helps Us when We least
expect it.
While IN London he stated his condition
TO a friend. who strongly advised him to
try medicine which he called Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup. saying it was gen
| uine and honest, and often cured when
everything else had failed. He bought a
bottle OF a chemist in PimIico, and began
using it according to the directions. He
did this without any faith or hope, and
the public may, therefore, judge OF his
surprise and pleasure when after taking
few doses he felt great relief. He could eat
better, his food distressed him less, the
symptoms we have named abated, the
dark spots which had fOated before his
eyes like sInuts of SCOT gradually disap-
peared, and his strength increased. Before
this time his knees would knock together
whenever he tried to walk. So encouraged
was he now that he kept on using Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup until it ended III
| completely curing him.
In speaking OF his wonderful recovery
Mr. Richold says it made him think OF
poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliver
ance from captivity on his island in the
sea; and added, But for Mother Seigel's
Curative Syrup the grass would now be
growing over my grave"
Our readers can rest assured of the strict
truth Of all the statements in this most re-
markable case, as Mr.. Richold (now resid-
ing at Swiss Cottage, Walton-On-the-Naze,)
belongs to one of the oldest and most re-
spected families in the beautiful village OF
Long Melford, Suffolk, and his personal
character is attested by so high an au-
thority as the Rev. c. ]. Martyn We
have deemed the case OF such importance
to the public as to justify US in giving this
short account of it in our columns.
