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 Aherystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabnloas 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 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, as was said, that the Vicar of Llantystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the re|>ort. Having a little curiosity to know 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 this wonderful cure. Thongh a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained mc in a half -hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having Ik:ui familiar with the 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 Thamas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh Tas formerly a resident of their parish, but now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pngh's character I as a respectable farmer 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 or.c who truly sympathised with all who arc ! afflicted in mind, body or estate. On my return to Aherystwith, I was impressed j with a desire to Sec Mr Pugh, whose reputation j stood so high. His farm is called Pencom-Mawr, signifying "above the dingle," situated near the i summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a j beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llanddeinol. I fouud 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 treat affliction and of his remarkable and almost ( miraculous relief, and that I had conic to learn from his own lips, what there was of truth in the I 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 hid 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 I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated ! by several Doctor* hereabouts, as good as any i in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of ' their* ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became ! conscious of a sour aud deranged stomach and loss j of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I cor.ld hold in my stomach j seenwl to do me no good and was oft«-n thrown up ' with painful retchings. This was followed af'er j a time with a hoarseness and a raw soreness r.\ the I throat which the Doctor? called bronchitis, and I ! was treated for that, l--.it with little success. Then | came shortness of breath aud a sense of suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, and I would ! have to get out of lied and sometimes open a door or window in winter weather to rill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago T became so bad that I could not sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my j l)owe!s as well a« upwards into my lungs and t!:roat. ' In the violent coughing spasms which crew more i frequent, my aMomen would expanod and collapse and at all times it would seem that I should suffo- | eate. All tiiis time I was reduced iu strength so j that I could perform no hard labour and my spirits : were consequently much depressed. Eaily in this last spring 1 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 I knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, suit to Abcrystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, ; »ome seven miles distant, and fetched a bottle of j Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administered to me according to the direction, when to their surprise a:.d delight iio less than my own, the spasm ceased, I bcame ' at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My j bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort ai! 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 I continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights ami have not since had a recurrence of those teirible spasms and sweating*. I have Wen so lo"g broken down end reduced in my whole system that 1 have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to be prudent lest by overexertion 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 beer, 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 fur 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.
