GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. » Mb Rditob,—While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six lone years, j given np to die by all the Doctors, had Iwen I speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was I related with the more implicit confidence from the i circnmstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llaniystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little cariosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llanrystyd to call n|>on the Vicar, the Rev. T. Evaus, and to enquire al»out this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him. both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half jhour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having lieen familiar j with the sti fir rings, and now rejoiced in what I s< emcd to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name \ had l«een connected with the report from hid having mentioned the case to Mr John Thamas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a j resident of their parish, but now living in the ' parish of Llanddeinol. • He strongly vouched MrWm. Pitch's character ! as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I ; left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the 1 happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that j i he was one who truly sympathised with all who are ; afflicted in mind, body or estate. On mv return to Aberystwith, I was impressed I with a desire to sre Mr Pugh, whose reputation j stoo<l so high. His farm is called Pencom-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 Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pnch, apparently al>out 40 years old, of medium ■ height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his great afflictiou and of his remarkable and almost ! : miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn j from his own lips, w hat there was of truth in the 1 report*. . Mr Pugh remarked that his neighl>or* had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case for | many years, but of late their interest 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 except! >n. I never undrrstood that my case was ever given up j as hopeless bv any Physician. I have been treated j hv several D-ietnrs hereal-onts, as good as any I in Wal> s, but unfortunately no prescription of i theirs ever brought the desired relief. I Fifteen vears ago, he said, I first became j , conscious of a sour and deranged stomach nnd losi of atpe'ite, which the Do-tors told me was Dyspepsia. What fo<«l I could hold in m , stomach > seemed to do rre no go«>d and was often thrown up i wi»h painful retchings. This v.as followed after ! a time with a hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat which tiie Doctor.' called bronchitis, ai d 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 i have to get out of l»ed and sometimes open a door< r window in winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six vears ago I became so bad that I cold not sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. My affliction seemed to fie working downward into mv l>owels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the violent coughing spasms which grew more ] frequent, mv aUloinen would expaned and collanse and at all times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength «o that I could perform no hard laltour and mv spirits were consequently much depressed. Eailv in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my families and neighbours became alarmed. lielieving that certainly I would not survive, when a neighlnmr, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, s-nt to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant, and fetched a liottle of t Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administered to me according to the direction, w hen to their surprise and deli L ht no less than my own, the spa«in ceased, I ln-camc at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My • towels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I hail not liefore realized in many years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. J have ' continued to take the medicine daily now for S"inc- I thing over two months, and I can lav down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not siuce had a ;c----currence of those terrible spasms and sweitings. I have lieen so long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have no f tried to perform any verv hard out door liliour, deeming it ln-st to be prudent lest by over-exert ion I may do self injury liefore mv strength is fully restored. I feel that my stomach and Ixiwels have been and are l-eing thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man. I have been much -ongratulated bv my neighbors, 1 especially by the good Vicar of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife, have come three miles to shed tears of joy on mv recovery. I bade Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this rematkable ca«e of Dyspeptic Asthma should be kr own to the public, I l»eg to submit the above facts as they are related to me. | F. T. W.
