G BEAT EXCITEMENT IN WAXES ' ABOUT A I MARVELLOUS CORE. LIVING SIX TEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. MB EDITOR, —While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aherystwith. Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a MARVELLOUS CURB. The story was that a poor snfferer who had n| been able to lie down in bed “ FOR SIX LONG YEARS, given up to die by all the Doctors, had been sp cured by SOME PATENT MEDICINE. It was related with the more Implicit Confideu| from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vied of Llanrystyd was FAMILIAR WITH THE PACTS, Ann could VOUCH FOR THE TRUTH OF THE REPORT.' Haring a little curiosity te kno w how such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty, while at the village of Llanrystyd, to call upon the Vicar, the Rev T. Evans, and to enquire about [his WONDERFUL CURE. ; " Though a total stranger to him, both.,he and hie wife most graciously entertained' me in a half hoar’s conversation, principally toucnlng the case cf Mr Pngb, in which they seamed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed,to them A MOST REMARKABLE CURE. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from his having MENTIONED THE CASE to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pagh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol, He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh’s character os a RESPECTABLE FARMER and WORTHY OP CREDIT. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy relition of a pastor and people, feeling' that he was one who truly sympathised with aU who are afflicted either in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aherystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called Fimcom-Mawr, signifying “above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth rouud hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely, ivy-' mantled chnrch of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently ahont 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his GREAT AFFLICTION and of HIS REMARKABLE and ALMOST MIRACULOUS BELIEF, and that I had come to learn from his own lips what there was of truth in the reports, ; Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours hod taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case for many years, but of late tbeirinterest had been greatly awakened by a HAPPY CHANGE IN 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 physician. I have bean treated by several doctors hereabumts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscions of a sour and deranged stomach, and ; LOSS OP APPETITE, , which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia: What food I could hold in my* stomach seemed to do me no good, and was often thrown up with PAINFUL RETCHINGS. This ‘was followed after a timelwith a hoarseness and a raw'soreness, of the throat, which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, hat with little success. Then came SHORTNESS OP BREATH AND A SENSE OP SUFFOCATION, especially nights, with clammy sweat, aud I would have to get out of bed, and sometimes open a door or window, in w.nter weather, to fill my lungs with the cold air. About s’x years ago I became so had ihat I could not sleep in bed, hut had to take my unquiet rest end dreamy sleep sitting in an arm chair. My affliction seemed to be' working downwards into my bowels, as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the VIOLENT COUGHING SPASMS which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand aud collapse, aud at timet it would seem that A should suffocate. All this time I was REDUCED IN STRENGTH, so that I could perform no hard lahonr, and my spirits were consequently much depressed. ; Early in this last spring I had a still more SEVERE SPASMODIC ATTACK, AMD AIT FAMILY AND NEIGHBOURS BECAME ALARMED, ' Believing that certainly I WOULD NOT SURVIVE, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aherystwith by the driver 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 T felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had not before realised in many years. I conld walk around the house and BREATHE COMFORTABLY in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lie down and SLEEP SWEETLY AT NIGHTS, and have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been so long broken down, aid reduced in my whole system, that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to be prudent, lest, by over-exertion, I may do myself injury before my STRENGTH IS FULLY RESTORED, I feel that my stomach and bowels have been, and are being, thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact, 1 ! PEEL LIKE A NEW MAN. I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, 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 bade Mr Pugh, good-bye, happy ihat cvea one, at least, among thousands, had found A REMEDY'FOB AN AGGRAVATING ’ DISEASE. ' Believing this remarkable ease of Dyspeptic Asthma shonld ba known tp the public, I beg to submit the above facts as they are related to me. T. W.
