a REMARKABLE CASE.

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 cab by two
gentlemen TO the office of +. 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 a man who is knocked down.
On coming to his senses in the soi-
citor's office he thought what this
might mean, and feared he was
going to have fit of illness, which
we all know is very dreadful
thing for a poor man with a 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
e 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-
o gan to have yellow look; there
y was a 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
E 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
I proved to be the terrible fact.
The secretions from the kidneys
o would be scaHty and high-coloured 8,
with kind of gritty or sandy
y deposit after standing.
$ These things had troubled Mr..
q Richold long time, and after his
fall in. the street he clearly perceived
i that the fit of giddiness was nothing
o more than sign of the steady
4 and deadly advance of the complaint,
! which began in digestion and dys-
+ pepsia. His story of how he went
i. from one physician TO another in
q search of cure that his wife and
q little ones might not come TO want is
! very pathetic and touching. Finally
q he became too ill TO keep his situa-
k ton and had to give it up. This
was a sad calamity. He was appall-
4 ed to think how he should be able to
+ live. But God raised up friends
r who helped to keep the wolf from
v the door. He then went to the sea-
. side at Walton on-the-Naze, but
neither the change, nor the ply
i sicians who treated him there, die
any good. All being without avail
> he visited London, with a sort Of
= vague hope that some advantage
q might happen to him in the metro
i polls. This was in October, 1885
y How wonderful, indeed, are the
% ways of Providence, which dashes

# While in London he stated his con
~ dition to friend, who strongly ad

70 Syrup, saying it was genuine ant
n honest, and often cured when every
r. thing else had failed. He bough
"a bottle of chemist in Pimlico, anC
r began using it according to the di
10 rections. He did this without faitl
f. or hope, and the public, may there
