A REMARKABLE CASE.

Under the above heading the Doncastet Reporter of July 6th, 1887, publishes the following in it? "ditoria" columns. —

Our readers may recall the circumstance of a young clerk, named Arthui Itichold, falling insensible on the WheatIcy Lane in this town seme time ago, and being picked up, as he continued perfectlj helpless, and taken in a cab by tvrc gentlemen to the office of F. W. Fisher Esq., the solicitor who employed him On restoring him to consciousness it was ascertained that he was afflicted witl what seemed an incurable disease. Wher he was able to speak he said he had beer to his dinner and was on bis way back tc his work, when suddenly his head was ir a whirl and lie fell in the street like t man who is knocked down. On cominf to his senses in the solicitors office he 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 fox

"With tliiß iz> hi? mind he at once 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 systesm resulting from genera! debility, indigestion, and dyspepsia of z chronic nature. This in turn had beet 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 ol interest both to sick and well. He had noticed for several years previously, in fact, that hia 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 ; nnd the bowels so bound and costive that it induced that most ;painf\il and troublesome ailment— the piles. He says there was some pain in the sides and back and a senso of tulness on the right side, a? though the liver were enlarging, Much 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 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 Ilic complaint, which began in indigestion and dyspepsia. His story of how he went from one j/bysician to another in search of a cure that his wifo and little ones might not come to want is voiy pathetic ajid touching. Finally he Ik*camo too ill to keep his situation and had to give it up. This was a sod calnmit}'. He was appalled to think how he should be able to live. But God raised up friends who ''clped to keep the wolf from the ioox\^He then wont to the seaside at Walton-on-thc-Nazc, but neither the change, nor the phj'sicians who treated aim there, did any good. All being without avail he visited London, with :: sort Df vague hope that some advantage might happen to him in the metropolis This was in October, 1885.

How wonderful, indeed, are the ways jf 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 Stigel's Curative Si/ run, saying it was genuine and honest, and often cured when sverything else had failed. He bought a bottle of a chemist in Pimlico, and begun using it according to the directions. Jlc iid this without faith or hope, and the public may, therefore, judge of Ins surprise and pleasure when after taking a t"ew doses he felt great relief. He could 3at better ; his food distressed him loss ; the symptoms we have named abated ; the dark spots which had floated before bis eyes like smuts of soot, gradually lisappeared, and his strength increased. Beforo this time his knees would knock togother whenever he tried to walk. Ho jncouraged was he now that lie kept on using Mother Scigel's Curative Syrup until it ended in completely curing him.

In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr. liicliold says it made him tlwik of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliverance from captivity on his island in the sea ; md added, " but for Mother Scigel's Syrup the grass woi'W now be growing :>vcr my grave." Our readers can test assured of the strict truth of nil the statements in this most remarkable case, as Mr. Itichold (now residing at Swiss Cottnj,"?, "Walton-on-thc-Uazc) belongs to one of tJic oldest and most respected families in the beautiful village of Lonf; Melford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by so high an authority as the Rev. C. j. Martyu, rector of tli.it parish, besides other excellent name? Vc have deemed the case of >»uch inipouuncc to the public as to justify Ub in giving this short account of it in our columoj. 1
