GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES OVER A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor,— While spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystw.tb, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what i£med to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous care. The story was that a poor .fluff srer who had not been able to lie down in bed_for six long ■rears given up to die by all the Doctors, bad been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the most implicit coon dence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the a little curiosity to know how such Stories grow in travelling, I to °k the liberty while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev. T. Evans and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a -otal st. anger to him, both he and h» wife most graciously entertained me in a half hours conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugb, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. ... The Vicar remarked that he presumed h-s name had been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chtmist of Llanon. He said Mr Fa<rh was formerly a resident of their pa«eh, bat was now living in the parish of LlanddeiHe Strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh’s character 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 one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwitb, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pukb. whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called -Pancom-Mawr, signifying ‘above the dingle, situated near the summit of a smooth round bill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which ,s 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 told him I bad heard of his great affliction and of his . remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his own lips, what there was of truth in the reMr remarked that his neighbours bad taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case'for many years, but of late their interest bad been greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. What you report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially trae *h one exception. I never understood that y case was ever given up as hopeless by any Afaysician. I have been treated bv several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any 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 re.chmgs. 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. Then came “shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, psneciallv nights, with clammy sweat, and 1 ■ wouldhave to get out of bed and Bometxmes open a door or window m winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that .1 could not sleep in bed, but bad to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair My affliction seemed to be workmg downward)nto bowel. .« well « * into mv luDgs and throat. In the couching spasms which grew more frequen., my abdomen would expand and collapse and at Kes it would seem that I should suffocate All this time I was reduced in 8 - rer) gth so that I could perform no hard labor and my spirits were consequently much deEarly in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a ue.gbbor vho had some knowledge, or had beard of the aedicine, eent to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant, and fetched a bottle of Motner Seigel a Cura-t-ive Syrup. . , .

I have been much congratulated by my neighbor, especially by the good Vmar of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on mv recovery. I bade Mr Pugh good-bye, , th . afc ev ' e “ one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believmg this remarkable case of Dyspeptic 4s f hma should be known to the public, I » to submit the above facts as they are related to me. p
