A REMARKABLE CASE. Under the above heading the Doncastei Reporter of July 6th, 1887, pub. lisnes the following in it* 1 columns. — Our readers may recall the circumstance of a young clerk, named Arthui Richold, falling insensible on the Wheat; ley Lane in this town seme time ago, anc being picked up, as he continued perfect]} helpless, and taken in a cab by tw< gentlemen to the office of P. W. Fisher Esq., the solicitor -who employed him On restoring him to consciousness it was ascertained that he was afflicted vritl what seemed an incurable disease. Wher he was able to speak he said he had beer to his dinner and was on his way back tc his work, when suddenly his head was ir a whirl and he fell in the street like 8 man who is knocked down. On coming to his senses in the solicitors office ht thought what this might mean, and feared he was going to have a fit of illness, which, we all know is a very dreadful thing for » poor man with a family tc care f oi. With tnis in his mind he at one« sought the best medical advice, tellinp the doctors how he had been attacked They questioned him, and found that hi? present malady was exhaustion of the nervous system resulting from genera! debility, indigestion, and dyspepsia of c chronic nature. This in turn had beer 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 oi interest both to sick and well. He luid noticed for several years previously, in fact, that his eyes and face began to have a yellow look ; there 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 il induced that most painful and troublesome ailment — the piles. He says there was some pain in the sides and back and a sense of fulness on the right side, as though the liver were enlarging, **hich proved to bo the terrible fact The secretions from the kidneys -would be scanty and high-coloured, with a kind of gritty or sandy doposit after standing. These things had troubled Mr. Kichold a 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 indigestion and dyspepsia 'His story of how he went from one physician to another in search of a cure that his wife and littlo ones might not come to want is xeiy pathetic and touching. Finally he became too ill to keep his situation and had to give it up. This was a sod calamity. He was appalled to think how he should be able to live. But God raised up friends who Hlpcd to keep tho wolf from the doox^jHo then went to the seaside at Walton-on-the-Naze, but neither the ahange, nor the physicians who treated aim there, did any good. All being v ithout avail he visited London, with r. sort Df vague hope that some advantage m.ght happen to him in the metropolis Ihis was in October, 1885. How wonderful, indeed, are the ways af Providence, which dashes down our highest 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 a medicine which he called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, saying it was genuine and honest, and often cured wlieu sverything else had failed. He bought ti bottle of a chemist in Pimlico, and began Using it according to the directions. Jle iid tnis without faith or hope, ami the public may, therefore, judge of his surprise and plcasuro when after taking a tew doses no felt great relief. He could 3at better; his food distrcshed him less; the symptoms we have Darned abated ; the dark spots which had floated before his eyes like smuts of soot, gradually disappeared, 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 in completely curing him. In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr. Kichold says it made him th'iik of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliverance from captivity on liis island in the sea; Mid added, " but for Mother Seigcl's Syrup the grass -\vouH now be growing Dyer my grave." Our readers can rest, assured of the strict truth of all the statements in this most remarkable ease, as Mr. ]{ it-hold (now residing at Swiss Cottage, "Wnlton-on-the-Nazc) belongs to one of the oldest and most respected families in the beautiful village of Long Mcl ford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by so high an authority as the Jicv. C. j. Martyn, rector of tluvt parish, besides other excellent namey ' *Ye have deemed the case of such impoiiunee to tho public as to justify us in giving this short account of it in our columns. 1
