A REMARKABLE CASE.

Under the above heading the Doncasfcr Reportor of July 6lh, 1887, publishes the following in its editorial column* : Our renders may rccnll uho eiicuraptanc." of r, youug clork, named Ar'hui' Rich. VJ, (nUinj; insensible oa. tho Whrti'ley Lnno, in this town, some time ago, »tu\ being pioked up, aa ha continued pei-fsotly helplcsa, and tali on in a osb by two ;.'pnt'3cmfia 6a lb? office of Mr F. W. ITisher, Esq., r-ho aoiici'o;who employed him. Oa restoring him to consciousness it was ascertained that ho was afflicted with vbafc scorned to be an i7jourftblo disease. When he was able to speak ha said ho had been to his dinner, and was on his way back to work when suddenly hiu he.:d wag in a whirl, and ho fell in the street like a man who ia knocked down. On coming to to hi* senses in the solicitor's office lis thought what this might mean, end feared bo was going to have a fit of illness, which we all know ia a very dreadful thing for a poor man with a family to oare for. With this in his mind, he at ouce sought the best medical advice;, felling the dootois how ho had been attacked. They questioned him, and found that hi? present malady was exhaustion of the nervous ujntem, resulting from general debility, indigestion, and djf pepsia of a ohronio nature, 'I his 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 dise&te, as described by Mr Riohold, must bo of interest to both sick and well. Ho had noticed for several years previously, in fact, that his ayes and face began to have a yellow look ; there was a sticky and unpleaaant slimo on the gums and teeth in the morning; the tongue coated, and 'she bowels so bound and oostiv* that it induced that most painful and trouble some ailment—the piles. Bo says there rras some pain in the sides and back, and a boeso of fulneßS on tho right sid9, as though the liver was enlarging, which proved to be the terrible faot. The tecretions from the kidneys would be scanty and high-colored, with a kind of gritty or sandy deposit after standing. These things had troubled Mr Richold a long time, and after his fall in tho street he clearly perceived that the fit of giddiness was nothing more than a sign of the steady and deadly advance of tho complaint, whioh began in indigestion and dyspepsia. His etory of how ho went from one phyaioian to another in search of a oare that his wife and little onoa might not come to want ia very pathetio and touching. Finally ho beoarno too ill to keep hia situation, and had to give it up. This was a sad calamity. Ke waa appalled to think how ho should be ablo to live. But G-od raised up friends whs helped to keep tho wolf from tho door. Ho then went to the seaside fit Walton-on-tke-Naao, but noither the change nor tho physicians who treated him thoro did any good. All beii-'g without avail, ho visited Londoo, with a sarfc of vague hope thai- some advantage might happen to him in tho metropolis. This was in October, 1885. How wonderful, indeed, aro tho ways of Providence, which dashco down our highest hopes and then helus ua when wo least expect it, While in London ho stated his condition to a friand, who strongly advised him to try a medicine which he called " Mother Ssigel's Curative Syrup," Baying it was genuine and honest, and often cured when everything else had failed. Hi! bought a bottle off a chomiDt in Pimlico, and began using it ccccr-iinft to tb.6 directions. lie did this without faith or hope, and fehs public may, thoreforo, judge of his surprise and pleasure when, of tor taking a few doses, h& felt grunt relief. Ha could oa*; better; his food distressed him ie?o; the symptoms we huve named abated ; tho dark'spots whioh had fitted boforo hi- ayes lihe smuts cf coot gradually disappeared, a:id hia strength iucreased. Before this time his knees would knock together whenever ha tried to walk. So enoouragod waa ho now that ho kept on using "Mother Scigol's Curative Sjrup " until it ended in completely curing him. In apsaking of hia -rondo; ful recjvory, M? Riohold eayn it nudo him think of poor Robinson Oruioe, aid hia delivornuco nom oaptivity on hie island iatha sea, and addsd, " But for Mother Suigel's Curative Svrap tho grnas would now be growing over my grave." Our readers can mat assured of the strict truth of nil the statements iu this moat remarkable caoe, as Mi' Richold (a;>w residing at Swiss Ootfcege, W'ali.oii-on-'.ha-M'fiZft) baling,) to one of lha oldest and most ivspectod familien in the beautiful valley of Lang Molfcrd, Suffolk, and hia personal char;:ct.:r ia attested by no high aa authority 'is the fiev. 0.
