A REMARKABLE CASE.

U.:dcr the above heading the Doncaster Reporter of July 6th, 1887, publishes the following in its editorial columns:-- ) Our reirdcre may recall the circumstance of a young clerk, named Arthur Eichold, falling insensible on the Wheatley Lane, in this town, soma time ago, and being picked up, as ha continued perfectly helpless, and taken in a cab by two gentlemen to tbe office of F,;. W., Fisher, Esq,, the solicitor who employed him. On restoring him conaciuuencES it was ascertained that he was nfflicfcrd with rhat seemed to be ah incurable disease. When he was able to speak he said ha had-bcen tei his-dinner, and was on his way back to work when 'suddenly his head was in a whirl, and be fell in the street like a man who is knocked down. On coming to to his senses in the solicitor's office he thought what this might mean, and feared be was going to have a fit of illness, which wo all know is a very dreadful thing for a poor man with a family to care for. With this in his mind, he at once sought the best medical advice, telling the doctors how be had been attacked. They questioned him, and found that his present malady was exhaustion of the nervous system, resulting from general debility, indigestion,; and dyspepsia of a ohronio nature. 3 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 disease, as discribed by Mr Biobold must be of interest both to,nick and well. Ee had noticed for several years previously in fact that hie eyes and ! face began to have a yellow look, there was a sticky and unpleasant slime on the gums and tuoth iu the morning, the tofigne coated, and tho'bowels so bound and costive that it nduoed that most, painful and troublesome ailment—tbe piles. He says there was some pain in tbe 1 sides and backhand a sense of fulness on the right side, as though the liver was enlarging, which proved to be the terrible fact. The secretions from the kidneys would be scanty and high-colored, with a kind of gritty or sandy deposit after Handing, These things bad troubled Mr Biohold a longtime, and after his fall in the street he clearly perceived.that the, fit of giddiness wbb nothing more than a sign of the steady and deadly advance of the complaint, which began in indigestion and dyspepsia. Hie story of how he went from one physician to another in 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 bad to give it up. This was a sad calamity, .He ,wap , 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 1 Then went to the Seaside at Walton-on-the-Naze, but neither the change nor the physicians who-treated him there did any good. All • bei g wiih;ut avail, he visited London, with a s;rt of Vogue hope that some advantage might happen to him in tbe metropolis. This was in Oc.tpbor, 1885, How'wonderful, indeed, are the ways of Providence, which dashes down our-highest hop a and then helps ns when we least expect it.

While in London he stated his condition to a friend, who strongly advised him to try a nudieine which he called “Mother Seigel’e Curative Syrup,” saying it was genuine and honrst, ur.d often cured when everything else had-Lihd. He bought a bottle oft a chemist in 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 do«e“, he felt great rebef. He could eat better; his food distressed him Inis; the ymploins we have named abated ; the dark spots which bad floated before his eyes like smuts of soot gradually disappeared, and his strength increased. Before this time bis ‘knees would, knock ( together whenever he tried to walk/ So ehodurtiged was he now that he .kept; op. using V Mother, SeigeT*, Curatlve 8j tup uhtil’it ended in completely curing him, ,■ ■ ‘ : ' In speaking of his wonderful recovery, Mr Riobold says it made -him think of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliverance from captivity on bis island in the sea,-and added, “ But for Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup the grass would now be growing over my grave.”

Qur readers can rest assured of the strict truth of all the statements in this most remarkable ease, as Mr Riohold (now residing at Swiss Cottage, Walton-on-lbe-Naze) belongs to one of the oldest and most respected families in the beautiful village of Long Melford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by eo high an authority as the ,R§v. Ct,JS,_ Martyn, rector of that parish, 'besides other excellent names,. We Hive deemed theoaaeof snob importance to the public as to justify us in giving a short so;oaunt of it in our column*. , I 3
