excitement in wakes ABOUT A 1 MARVELLOUS CUBE. ; LIVING SIX TBABB WITHOUT GOING TO BED. ME EDITOR, —While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith, Cardigan* shire, Wales, 1 beard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a MARVELLOUS CUBE. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed FOB SIX LONG TBABB, given np to die by all the Doctors, had been speedily cured by SOME PATENT MEDICINE. It was related with the more Implicit Confidence from the circumstance os was said, that the Vicar of Llonrystyd was FAMILIAR WITH THE PACTS, ASD COULD VOUCH FOB THE TEUTH OF THE BSPOBT. Having a little curiosity to knowhow such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty, while at tho village of Uanrystyd, to call upon tbs Vicar, the Her T. Evans, and to enquire about this WONDERFUL CUBE. Though a total stronger to him, both he and hie wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the ease cf Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to time a deep and sympathetic interest, having been halHw with hia sufferings, and; now rejoiced in what seemed to them A MOST REMARKABLE CUBE. The Vicar remarked that he presumed hi# name had been connected with the report from his having , MENTIONED THE CABS to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanos. - He said Mr Pugh, was formerly a reeidentof their parish, bat was now living in the parish of Uanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh's character RESPECTABLE FARMER aud WORTHY OF CREDIT. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier Bangs of tho happy reUtioo 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 ray return to Aberystwith. I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm Is called Panoom-Mawr, signifying “above the dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley In which is situated the lovely, ivy* mantled church of HanddelnoL I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 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 bad come to learn from his own lips what there was of trnth in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his ease for many years, but cf lata their interest had bees greatly awakened by a HAPPY CHANGE IN HIS CONDITION. What yon 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 hr any physician. I have been treated by several doctors hereabouts, as good as any In Wales, hut unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, ha said. I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomach, and LOSS OF appetite; which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to i o me no good, and was often thrown np with PAINFUL RETCHINGS. This was followed after a timolwith a hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat, which tho Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, 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, in Winter weather, to fill my lungs with the cold air. About B’Z years ago I became so had that I could not sleep in bed, but bad to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an arm chair. Uy affliction seemed to be working downwards into my bowels, as well as upwards into my longs and throat. In the VIOLENT COUGHING SPASMS

which grow mora frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse, and at rime-* it would seem that 1 should suffocate. All this time I was REDUCED IN STRENGTH. so that I could perform no hard labour, and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early in this last spring 1 had a still more SETEBB SPASMODIC ATTACK, AND Mi FAMILY AND NEIGHBOURS BECAME ALARMED, Believing that certainly I WOULD NOT SURVIVE, when a neighbour, who had soma knowledge, or had heard of the medieine, sent to Aberystwlth by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven mi lee distant, and fetched a bottle of MOTHER SEIGEL'S CURATIVE SYRUP, This medieine they administered to ms 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 os I hod not before realised in many years. I could 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 hsd a recurrence of these terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been bo long broken down, and reduced in my whole system, that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to ho prudent, lest, by over-exertion, I may do myself njury before my STRENGTH IS FULLY RESTORED. a I feel that my stomach end bowels have been, and ore being, thoroughly renovated end renewed by the medicine. In fact, I FEEL LIKE A NEW MAH. I hare 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. bade Mr Pugh good-bye. happy that even one, at set, among thousands, had found A REMEDY FOB AN AGGRAVATING DISEASE. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to tbs public, I leg to submit the above fact *as they are related th bite; Tlit
