A Remarkable Case.
Under the above heading tho Doncastor ltoportor of July Oth, 1887, publishes tho following in. its editorial columns, Our renders may recall tho circumstance of a young clerk, named Arthur Richold, falling iusonsiblo on tho Whoatloy Lano iu this town solne tinie « apvand being picked up, as ho con- A tinuod perfectly helpless, and takon in a cab by two gentlemen to.tlio office of F. ! W, Fislior, Esq., tho'aoh'citor who om- ( ployed, Win. On . restoring him to con- / Bciousnosa it was nscertained that lio was ■ afflicted with'what soemod to bo an in- \ curablo diseaso. Whon he was ablo to spt ik ho said he had boon •to his dinner and was on his way, back to his work, : whon suddonly his head was in a whirl and ho fell iu tho street -like a' man who i 3 knocked down, In coming to his sensos in tho solicitor's oflico ho thought " what this, might nieah, and feared ho 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 caro for.' With this in his mind ho at onco sought '' tho best medical advico, tolling tho doctors how he had been attacked. They questioned liini, and found that his preBont malady was oxhaußtion of the nery. ■ ous Bystom resulting from gonoral debility, indigestion, and dyspepsia of the chronic nature. This in turn had been caused by ) confinement to his desk and grief at tho | loss of doar friend by death. Tho com- ■ ing on of this strange disoqßO, as described by Mr Richold, must be of interest both • ■ to sick and woll. Ho had noticed for Boveral years previously, in fact, that his' , u.\ eyes and faco bogan to havo a yellow look; there was a sickly, and unploasant slime on tho gums and tooth in tho morning; tliotonguo coated ;and tho bowols so bound and costive that it induced tint most painful and troublsome ailmont-tho piles. Ho Bays thoro was Bomo pain in tho sldos and back and a senso of fulness on tho right side, as though tho liver woro enlarging, which proved to tho torriblo fact. The secretions from tho kidnoys would .bo scanty and high-colcured, with a kind of gritty or sandy deposit after standing, Thoso things had troubled Mr Richold a long timo, and aftor his fall in tho Btrect he clearly perceived that the fit of giddiness was nothing moro than a sign of tho deadly advanco of tho complaint, which bogan in indigestion and dyspepsia. His story of how he wont from one physician to another in search of a ouro, that his wife and little ones might not como to want, is very pathetic and touching. - Finally ho bocamo too ill to keep his situation, and had to givo it up. This was a sad calamity, Ho was appalled to think how he should bo ablo to livo. But God raised up friends who helped tokeep tho wulf from tho door. Ho 'thon wont to tho soasido at Walton-on-tho- A Naao, but neithor tho "ishaugo, nor tho '■ physicians who treated him there, did V any good. All being without avail ho J| visited London, with a aort of vaguo hopo T/ that aomoadvantago mighthappentohim : in tlio metropolis. This was in October, 1885,
How wonderful, Indeed aro the ways' of Providonce, which dashes down our highest hopes, and then helps us whon wo least oxpect it, While in London ho stated his oondition to a friond, who strongly advised him to try a raedicino wltioh ho called Mother Scycf's Curative Syrup, saying it was gonuine and honest, and often cured when every tiling olso had failed. Ho bought a' bottlo of a chomisb in Pimlico, and began using it according to tho directions. ■ Ho did this without faith or hopo, and tho P u Wio may, thoroforo, judge of his aurpriso and pleasure whon aftor taking a few doses he folt great relief. Ho could cat botter; his food distressed him less • the symptoms wo havo named abated; tho dark spots whioh had floated befoio his oyes like smuts of soot gradually disand his strength Increased. Boforo this time his knees would knock together whonovor ho triod to wait, So encouraged was ho now that ho kopton using Mother Scigel's Oitralm tiijnin until it ended in completely curing him, ' In speaking of his wonderful recovorV Mr Riqhold says it inado him think of poor Eobiuson Crusoo, and Ms dolivoranco from captivity on his island in the sea; and added 1 But for Mother Soigol'a Curativo Syrup tho grass would now ba growiny over my Grave." "BCCHU-RUBA 1 " . Quick, comploto cure, all annoying Kidney, Bladder, and Unlnary disease,
