GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE. LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor,— While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related wha seemed to me either a fabuious story or marvellous cure The story was that of a poor sufterer who had not been able to lie down m bed for six long years, given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little cu r iosity to know how such stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the vilbge of Llanrystyd to call upon the V'car, Ihe Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wondeiful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me m a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, m which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced m what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from h's having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living m the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr William Pugh's character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a lively sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised w th all who are afflicted m mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Puph, who-;e reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying " above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley m which is situated the lovely ivy-mantied Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, cf medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent fa.cc. 1 tolc* him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and -hat I had come to learn from his own lips what there was 01 truth m the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had. taken a kindly and sympathetic interest m his case for many years, out of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change m his condition. What you report as having heard abroad said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physicia". 1 have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any m Walts, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. H'teen years ; go, Ye said, I first became conscious of * sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the K>octors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could keep m roy stomach seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed afcr a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat, which the Doctors called bionchitis, and I was treated, for tha?, but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights with clammy sweat, and I would have to get out of bed, and sometimes open a door or window m wintei weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad tha I could not sleep m bed, but had to takr my unquiet re t and dreamy sleep sitting m an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downwards into my bowels as well as up* wards into my lungs and throat. In the violent couvhing spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse, and -it times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced ni strength so that I could perform no hard labor, and my sspi ts were consequently much depressed. Early m this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors became alarmed, believing that cer, tainly I would not survive, whe ■< a reighborf who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the dnver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administered to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had not before rpalised m many years. I culd walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after I had taken the medicine.. I have continued to take the medicine daily npw for something over two months, and I can iay down and sleep sweetly at nights an(* have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been so long broken down and reduced m my whole system that I have not iried to perform any very hard outdoor labor, deeming it best to be piudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully testored. I feel that my stomach snd bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact ( feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bad • Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease Kclievine this venm-kable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg submit the above facts as they are related me. • .'
