MB. EDTTOB,— WhiIe spending a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous care. The rtory was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for Bix long yearc, given tip to die by nil the Doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medioine. It was related with the more Implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was eaid, that the Vicar of Llantyatyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the tmth of the report. 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 iiev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Thosgh a total Etran^er to him, both he and bis wife most graoiously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take & deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with bis suffer irg», and now rejoiced in what ecemei to them a most remarkable euro. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been conneoted with the report irom hh having mentioned the case to Mr. John Ihoma9, a chomitt of Llacon. t4e said Mr. Pagh was formerly a resident of their pa i h. but was now living in the parish of L'anddeinol. Le st'ongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pagh's character as a respectable farmer aad vprthy ofcredi?. I left the venerable \icar with a livelier tense of -he happy relation of a pßstor and people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are affliotedia mine*, body, and estate. On my return to Aborjst^ith, I was impressed with a desire to ccc Mr. Pugh, whose reputat'on &tood so high. His farm is called . ancom-M*wr. signifying '"above the dingle," situated near tin saoimit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful va'ley in which is situated the lovely ivy -mantle J Chu r ch of Llanddoinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years oid, of medium heig t. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face, 1 told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkab'e and almost miraculous r<- lief, and that I had come to learn from h's own )ip3, what there was of {truth in the re; orta. Mr. Pugh "emarked that his neighbours had taken a k idly acd sympathetic interest in lis caße f .ri^aay year?, bnt of lite their interest had be^o greatly awakened by a happj change in hi 3 condition. What yon report of having heard abroad, eaid he, is sabstan iaii-- true, with one exception. I rever understood that my c»se was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treatod by several Doctors hereabouts, 6s good as any in Wai s but unfortunately no preEori^tionof theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he Eaid, I first becamo conscious of a tour and deranged stomaoh and loss of eppetite, which the D ctors_ told me wa-)D>Bp«p&i3. Vvhit foodlcoud'hoL 1 in my etomaca seemed to do me no good and ! was ( f ten thrown up with painful retching*. I his was followed after a time with hoarcenets and a raw rareness of tho throat wbioh the Doqtors called bronctitis, and I was tieated for that but with little success. Xhon came shortness cf breaih and a aeoso of suffocation (.specially nights, with clammy sweat, and I would have to go out of bed aad tome times of en a door or w.ndow in winter weather to fill my Jungd with the cold air. About six years ago I becamo so bad that I could not sleep in bed. but had to take my unqukt rest and ores my sleep sitting in an armchair. i 5 y affliotitm seemed to be worklug downward into my bowels ad well as upwards into my lungs and throat. 111 1 the violent coughing spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collar. 89 and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength co that I could perform 10 hard labour and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early ia this last spring I bad a Btill more 66vere sposmodic-attac <, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certtinly I would not survive, when a nuigntour, who bad seme knowledge, or hod heard of the medicine, sent to Aberjßtwith by tho driver ot '.he Omnibus Post, 8 ma seven mi cs distand, and foteh d a bottle of Mother eige'.'d Curative Syrup. This medicine they cdministrikd to me accord!' g to tbo directions, when to their tur{riso and delight no less than my own, the spism ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach calfted. My bowels wore moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfoit ail through such as I had not 1 efore realized ia many years I con'd walk around the hi use andbroatho comfortably in a few houra after I had taken the mediciue, I have continued to luke tho medicine daily now fo 1 lonr. thins? over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights ana have notii co had v recurrence of those terrible spasms and swcntirgs. I havo been co long brot.eu down u&d reduced in n>y whole system that I liavo not tried ty p.rfOrm any very hiid out-door labour, dee 1 ii/g it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion 1 may do nivtself injury before my st.ongth is fully reitoied. I feel that my stonaiion and bowcld lihvo been aud tire being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine, Iv fact 1 feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my ntigboours, t specially by tho j.ood Vic&r of Liaurjfctyd who with his tyu pathetic wife hnvo con c thiee miits to shod tears of joy on my recovery. I bado Mr. Fugh goodbye, hoppy that even one at least among thousands had footd a re medy for an aggravating disease. lloiiujug this lern&ikablj case of Dyaj.eptic Afcthmu, should bo known to tho puulic, I Leg to mLmit tho abovo facts as ihoy are lelated to me. a 352 h w bap F, T.
