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 Aberystwith, Cardigausliire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me cither a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not j been aMe to lie down in bed for six long years, ' given up to die by all the Doctors, had l>een ; 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 1 vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how snch stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llar.rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and bis wife most graciously entertained ine in a half-hour's conversation, principally touching tiio j case of Mr Push, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar ; with the sufferings, anil now rejoiced in what j seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name | had been connected with the report from bis having ! mentioned the case to Mr John Thanias, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a : resident of their parish, but now living in the | parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pngh's character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I ! left the venerable Vii-ar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that lie vva« one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, bodv or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to sre Mr l'ugh, \\lu>se reputation stood so hiirh. His farm is called Pencom-Mawr. signifying "above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a Wautifnl vallev in whirh is situated the lowly ivy-mantled Church of Llauddeinol. I found Mr Pui;h, apparently aUmt 4ft years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told luni I had heatd of his irreat affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his ov. 11 lips, w hat there was of truth in the re|>orts. Mr Pngh remarked that his neighbors had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his ense for many years, but of late their interest hail been greatly awakened by a happy change in Ins eon.iilion. What you report as hnvinu heard abroad, sai l he, is substantially true, with one exception. 1 never understood tint my case was ewr given up as hojieltss bv any I'liv i'ian. I have been treated by several Hvto'S he-eahonts, as tood as any in Wal-s, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, 1 tir.st became conscious of a sour and liernniied stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was I'ysm-p-ia. What food I could hoi' my stomach sninetl to do me !!•"> good and often tiirov.ii nri wi'h painful retellings. This vas full .uv.l af'er a time with a »n»ar>"'Pess and a raw soreness r.f the throat winch the Doctor? called bronchitis, aid I was treated r that, bi>t with little success. 'l'heii came sl.ortmss of breath and a sense of suffiication, especially M.h's. with rliinny sweat, and 1 would have to jet out of bed and sometimes open r. door or win 1 .w in winter weather to till my lungs with the cold air. About six vears ago I became sr. bad that T could ii"t sleep in lied, but bad to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sieep sifting in an armchair. Mv i alHi-tion seemed to Ik? work in-.'downward into mv 1 b iwtls as well as upwards into my ami throat. ' In the violent coughing spasms which crew more i frequent. tnv a' »in«-n wonid cxpatied and collapse ] and at all times it would seem lli.it I should siiffo- ! c-ite. 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 stiii more revere spasmodic attack, and mv families and neichbouis became alarmed. Itclicving that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith bv tbi* driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant, and fetched a bottle of Mother Si ie»d's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administered to me according to the direction, when to their surprise and delight i.o less than my own. the spasm ceased, I became at case, and my stomach was calmed. My bowel, were moved a* by a gentle cathartic, and 1 leit a sense of quiet comfort all through S'kh as I hail not before realized in nir.rv years. I could walk around tie house and breathe coinferfaMv in a fe<v hours after 1 had taken th.j ir.tdieinc. 1 have continued to take the medicine daily now for some, tiun.' over two otoliths, and I can lav down and sleep sweetly at I'is.lits and have not since had a rerurrence of those teirihle spasms and sweitii-e". I have lieeo so !on_' broken down and reduced in mv whole system ibat I have not tried to perform any very hard out door labour, d-emim: it best to lie prudent lest by over-exertion I m t y do mvself injury Wore mv strength is fully restored. 1 feel that my stomach and bowels have been and arc lieing thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In faet I feel hue a new man. I hive been much • ongratulated bv mv neighbors, especially l.v the lood Vi. arof Llam Vatyd, who with his sympathetic wife, have • ome three miles to shed tear< of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr l'ugh goodbye, happy that even one at l n ast among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating di ;case. Believing tins remarkable ca*e of Dvspeptic A*thrna should U» krown to tlie public, 1 h-g to submit tne above facts as they are related > me. , F. T. W. | f k r EE PING PACE WITH TJIE T!M ES!
