" ' A REMARKABLE CASE: Under the above heading the "Dacetown Reporter" of. July 6th, 1887, published the following m its editoriarcolumns : — Our readers may recall the circumstance of a young clerk named Arthur Richokl, falling insensible on tbe Wheatley Laiie m this town some time ago, aud being pckel up, as he continued perfectly helpless, and taken m a cab by two gentlemen to the office of F. W. Fisher, Esq., the solicitor who employed, him. On restoring him (0 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 b.en to h ; s dinner and was on his way back to his work, when suddenly his head was m a whirl and he fell m the street like a man who is knocked down. - On coming to his sentes m the solicitor's office he thought what this might mean, and feared he was going to have a fit of il ne=s, which we all know is a very dreadful thing for a poor man with a family to care for. , ' i- 1 With this m his mind he at once sought the best medical advice, telling the doctors how hi had been attacked. They quest ; oned him, and found that his present malady >v.'g 'exhaustion of the nervous system result ng j rom general debility, indigestion, and dyspepsia of a chronic nature. This m 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 by Mr Riohold, must be of interest both to sick and well. He had noticed for several years previously, m fact, that his eyes and face began to have a yellow look ; there was a sicky and unpleasant slime on the gums and teeth m the morning j the tongue coated ; and the bowels so bound and costive that it induced that most painful and troublesome ailment — the piles. (He says there w. s some pain Din the sides and back and a sense of fulness on the right side, as though the liver were enlarging, which proved to be the terrble fact. The secretions from the kidneys would be scanty and high-colored, with a kind of fl'ittycr sandy deposit after standing. . . These things had troubled Mr Richol.d ong time, and after his fall m the street hea clearly perceived that the fit of giddiness was nothing niore than a sigh of the, steady and deadly advance of the complaint* which began m Indigestion and dyspepsia. His story of how he went from one physician to another m search of a cure that his wife and little ones might not come to want is very pathetic and touching. Finally he became too ill to keep his situation and had to give it up. This was a sad calamity. He was appalled to think how he should be 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 treated him there, did any good* /• 11 being without avail he visited London, with a sort of vague hope $ha£ some advantage migh' happen to h,im m the metropolis. This was m October, lß#s How* wonderfu}, indeed, are the ways of which dashes down our highest hojjes and then helps us when we least i expect it. While m London he slated his condition to a friend, who strongly advised him to try a medicine which he called Mother Seigd's Curative Symp, saying it was genuine and honest, and often cured when everything else failed. He bought a bottle of the chemist m Pimlico, and began using it according to the directions. He did this without faith or hope, and the public may, therefore, judge of his surprise and pleasure when after taking a few doses ,he felt great relief. He could eat better j his food distressed him less the symptoms we have named abated \ the dart; spots which had floated be'ore his, eye_s like smuts of 50$, gradually #sapp£ared, hia strength increased . Before (his time his knees \yo,ula knock together whenever he tried to walk; Sq encouraged. \ya.s he now that he kept on using Mother Seiscl*s Curative Syrup until it endea m completely curing him. . In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr RJchold says it made him think of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliverance irom aptivity on his island m 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 m this x^opX v«t markable case, as Mr Vichold^ (no.vy residing at Swiss cottage., Wa.Uoa-o'ri-the-Na^e) belongs - to one of tKe* oldest and most respected, ftrnilies m the beautiful village of Long.
