GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES /. ABOUT! A SCARYELIXHJS! CURfJ. • LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mjt Edito*,—While spending a few days it the pleatant 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 long years, given up 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, as was said, that the Vicar of Llamystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiositv to know how such stories gTOW is travelling, I took the liberty while at the fyev. J. Kv&as, anq to enquire about 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 due of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with the luffenngs, and /now -rejoiced in • what seemed to tiiem a most remarkable cure. [ The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name bad been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thamas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but now living in the parish of Llanddcinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh's character as a respectable fanner and worthy of credit. I as a respectable fanner and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood 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 Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I tola him I had heard of his great affliction and of bis remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had cojne to learn from his own lips, what there was of truth in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors 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 exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, 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 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 do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with a hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Theu 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 six years ago I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed, but had to take my unqniet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the violent coughing spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expaned and collapse and at all times it would seem that I 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 I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my families 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 Aberystwith by tbe 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 direction, 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 realized 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 lay 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 and 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 I 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 bade Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above facts as they are related to me. F. T. W.
