GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

Ltvin& Six Years without going to Bed.

Mr EDiTOE.-While spending a few days at the: Pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me ither a fabulous story or a marvellous curer* • The story was that a poor, sufferer who had not been able to he down in bed for six long years, riven up to die^by all the doctors, had been speedily rared by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance at .was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts and could vouch for the truth of the report. . .

Having a little curiosity to know how such storiei grow in travelling, I took the liberty whUe at-the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vicar, the' Key. X. Evans, and to inquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife.most graciously entertained me in a half hour s conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Fugh, in which they seemed- to take a deep arid sympathetic interest, having been familiar with hi* 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 havinr mentioned the case to Mr John. Thomas, a chemist ot Uanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly » resident of their parish, but was-nowlivinjt.in the parish of Llauddeinol. ~ . "

He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh's character f 8* respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar witha-livelier-sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that h2, was °? e 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 Pancom-Mawr, signifying;" above the dingle," situated" near the' summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovelyivy-mantled-church-of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with' a pleasrat and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from hit own lips what there was of truth in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours had take a kindly and' sympathetic interest in- his case fc»many years, but of late their interest had bee* 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 a* hopeless by any physician. I have been treatedby 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 consciom of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appew,'^lch rthe 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. Then'came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nighti, 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 Ibecame so bad that I could not sleep m bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. Mv: affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upward into my lungs .and throat. In the violent coughing spasms which' grew more trequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that I could perform no hard labour,andmysDirits wera consequently much : depressed - ■ .. , Bariy in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my familyand neighbours^ became alarmed, believing that certainly I would 'l .not survive, when a neighbour,-who. had-some knowledge, or had heard "of the" medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post MSh,t e£;? v"* Mother Seigels Curative Syrup. : This medicine they administered to me according to the directions,: when to their surprise and deiignt 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 telt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had. not before realised 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 lean lay-down andsleen swe£ tly at nights and have not sincehad a recurrence of those terrible spasms arid sweatings*;l 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 myneighboun, especially by the good Vicar of Llanryatyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. " I bade Mr Pugh good-bye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an agmuyating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptio Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above facts as they are related to me. --...-.: : V.T.W. —Mr Lee,'inventor of the rifle, who has arrived in London, is a Scotchman, a native of Hawick.

A HUNDRED POUNDS IN POCKET.

Donald, Vict., April 16,1886—1 write these few lines as testimony to the good effects derived from the use of Warner's Safe Cure. I have been a sufferer for years, and two years and | three months ago was obliged to give up work, | with Sciatica. lam a blacksmith, with a business of my own; the work of course is hard, and in this country very hot. I tried almost every cure obtainable, but as summer came on again I became worse, and had to take to my bed. I thought I should lose my business, in fact, began to despair of my life. I had at last tried Warner's SaFe Cure, and very soon could rest nights, something I had not enjoyed for a long time. Soon the pains in my hip began to go away, my strength returned, and I commenced work. I have worked hard now for seven months, through the heat of summer, being able to do my work and look after my business with no inconvenience. Have taken in all 40 bottles, and it has been a hundred pounds in my pocket, besides enjoying good health. — John W. Harris.
