Liviug Six Years Without Going To Bed. ME. EDITOR,— WhiIe spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberyslwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I beard related what seemed to me either a fabulous jtory or a marvellous euro. The was that a poor sufft rer who bad not been able to Jie down in hed for six long jear?, given up to die by oil the Doctore, had been speedily cut ed by Eome Patent Medicine. It nna related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, bb was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with tbe fret?, and could vouch for the truth of tho report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took the I'berty while &t the village of Lmnrjstydto call upon tbe Vicar, the ISev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure,. Though s total &tr&ni er to him, both ho and. bis wife moat graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principa'ly touching the ca°e of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take ft deep and eympatl etio interest, having bsen familiar with his sufCeri: ge, and' now rejoiced in what eeemed to them a most* lemarKatte cure. > ■ - Ihe Vicar remarked that he presumed his Dnie bad been connected with the report from his baying mentioned the caae to Mr. John Thomas, a chemiftcf Liar on, £e's«i(iMr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their' pa i'h, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He st ongly vouched Yr. Wm, Pogb's chaiacter as a respectable firmer aod worthy of credit. I left tbe venerable Vicar with a livelier tense of ' he happy i elation of a pastor and people, feeliDg that he was one who truly sympathised with ail who are B dieted in min H , body, and estate. On my retara to Aberjst^ith. I was iocpres'sed with a desire to Eec Mr. Pugh, wboss reputation stood so high. His farm is ca'kd, aocom-Miiwr, signifying ''above thediogle,'* situated near thi saasmit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful va'ley iv which s'tuattd the lovely ivy'-'mant'o i Chu-ch of Lland'.'eiuol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years o ! d, of medium heig'.t. rather slight, with a pit a- ant and intelligent face. I told him I had hta-d of his grea; affl.ctiou and of his remarhab'oand almost miracu'ous r<*lit£, and that I bad come to learn from h a own lip 9, what Ih.ro was of truth in the reports. Mr. Pogh remarked thet hia neighbours had taken a kindly and s; m pathetic interest in ris case fcr many years, bnt of hte their interest had been freatly awakened by a. happj change in hia condition. V-hat you report of having heard abroad^ raid he, i 3 substantially true, with oie exception. I Derer undei stood tdat my o-isewaß ever given up a? hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, 86 good eb any in Wai 8 but unfortunately no prescrirticn of theirs ever brought the desired relic.. Fifteen years ago, ho said, I first became cor scions of fc four and deranged ttoiraoh and foes of tppetite, whioh the D ctors told me was Djs;epsia.

Ihen came sbortn-^BS cf breath and a aeusa of suffocation especially nights, with clammy sweat, and I would have to go out of bed asd torn' times of en a dcor or window in winter weataer to' fill my lunsja %vith the cold air. About six years ago I b:cam3 co bad that I could not seep in bed. tut had. to take my unquitt rißt and r'.roemy Ble&p tilting in an armchair, ley affliction Feemed. toleworkh:g dovrnwaidinto my bowels aa w<-ll as upwards into my lunga and tliroat.

All this time I was reiuced in slrcDglh fo that I couid perform i o hard labour and my spiiits were consequent!* much depressed.
