Reporter of July 6th, 1887, j üblishei the - ''"3 ■■following'in its e"dit"drial-'coluninß~ ' T Our readers may recall tho circumatunoe of a young clerk,-named-Arthur, Bichold, falling insepsjble on the W^heatley Laiie in this town some time ego,".and being picked up", as he continued perfectly helpless, and taken in a cab by two gentlemen to the office of EY W. Fisherj Esq., the 1 solicitor who employed him.' On restoring him to confleicusoess it wue ascertained that he was affliotei with what seemed to He an incurable di»eaee. When»be wat able to spouk he «aid;ha had been to bis dinner and wms, orchis way back to Hie work, when suddenly his head was in a whirl and he fell 'in the street*.-Kke «t man \who is Jtjocked cown. On coming-'-- to his 'Benues in the' solicitor's oSi 0, he thought what this mi lit mean,'and'feared he was.going'to have a fit of illness, which we all know is a very dreadful thing for a poor man with' a family to care for." ; • ' -. - ' With this in his mind be at once sought the I best medical advice, telling the doctors how ho had" been *"attacke*d. c'Tb"ey "questioned him, and r found,tbat)iiK present malady was exhau^ tion of the nervous system resulting from 'general debility, indigestion, und dyspepsia of a chronic nature. This in turn had been c used by confinement to his desk und grief at the Joss .of dear friends.,by' death. The coming on of fh 13 strange disease, as described by Mr.BichoJd, must-be, of. interest .both,to sick and well. Ho had noticed for several yeure previously, in fact, that his eyes' and face began to have a yellow look ; there was a sticky und unpleasant slime on the gams and teeth in tbe morning; the tongue coated ; and the bowels so bound and costive that it induced thac most painful and troublesome ailment—the piles. He says there was some pain in the sides and btvok »nd a eenso of iulneis on the right tide, as though ihe liver wus enlarging, which proved to be the te-nble fact. Tho oecretionß from the kidneys W"uld be seamy and high-coloured, with h kind of, gritty or sandy deposit after Btanding. Theao things had troubled Mr Jb&ichold a long time, auct after his fall iv the street he clearly perceived'that the fit of giddi"eßß-was nothing mo,re tb3n a. sign <jf t the steady and deadly 'advance of tho complaint, which'begun in inflig&clion'' and; dys^epna,. 11 History of how "be went from','one' physician toi,another in search' dfa 'cure thut his' wife and little oqps might not come to want is very pathotio and touching. Finally he became too ill to' keep hi* situation and _had,,to give it, up. This was a sad calamity. 1' He;.was appalled to think how he should be able to live. But'G-od r^iard up friends who b«lped to keep tho wolf from tbe r'oor. He then-went- to the>caside at Walton-dn the-Naze, but neither the obange, nor the physicians who treated him there, did any good. All being without avhil he visited London, with a sort of _vaguV-bope that some advantage might happen to him in tbe roolr polie. This wt»g in October, 1885. How wonderful, indeed, are the ways of Providence,' wbich^dashed down our hopes and tben-he!p» us when we* least expect it.

While in London he stated his 'ondiiion to a friend, who strongly advised him to try a medicine which he called Mother SeigeVs Curative Syrup, Buying it was genuine and honest, and often cured when everything elee had failed. He bought'a,bottle of a chemist* in PiraJico^'anJ.'began using it according r to, tbe directions! .He did this »'ithoufcj;fuith or hope, and ?b"e public may,'therefore/'judge of his surprise and pleasure when after taking a 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-floated before his eyes', like smuts of soot, gradually disappeared, and his strength increased. Before ibis time his knees would knock together whenever'he tried to walk. So encouraged was'he now ihut he kept on using Mother SeigeVs Curative Syrup until it ended in completely curing him.

, In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr," 1 Bicbold says it - made him' think of poor Bobinson tlrusoe," and'his deliverance from captivity on his uland 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' assurad of the strict truth of all the statements in lltiß most rernnrkible ease, as Mr liichold (now residing 1 at bwis« Cottage, Wulton-oii-tbe-Naie) beI longs to one of the oldes'. and most' respected families in the bea'utilul village of Long Melford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by so high an authority as the Rev. C. J. Maityn, rector of that parish, besides other excellentnames. .We have, deemed the/ cbbb of such importance to thelpublio as to ; justify us in giving this short;account of it in our columns. 4
