GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES.

t^nout a marvellous cure, Living Six Years Without ' Going To Bed;

MR. EDITOR,— SVhiIe spanding a faw days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwitb, Cardiganshire, Wales, I < heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous Btory or a marvellous care. ' 1 ■ The story was that a poor Buff erer who had not been able toiie down in bed for six long years, ?ivea up to di 6by all tho Doctors, had been speedily oui-ed by some Patent Me&ic!ae. It was related with the more implicit • confldenoo from the circumstance, as was paid, that the Vioar' of Llanrys'tyd w»s fanaihar with the facts, and could vouch for the t uth of. the report. <>v ; ■ .... ' Having a littlo curiosity to know bow such stories grow in travelling, I took tho liberty while at the village of Lt/inrystyd to call upon tue Vicar, the iiov.|T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Thoagh a total Birangertohijjdiboth.he and his wife 1 most graciously entertained j me in a halfj hour's, conversation, principally touching tho case of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to taka a deep and sympathetic interest, having b j en familiar with his sufferings, 1 and now rejoiced in- what seemed' to tham & most remarkab'e cure ■ '■ The Vioar remarked that he presumed bis n>me bad been- connected with the (report from hi* having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a ohemut of Llanon, He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their pa i h. but was now living in the parish of Lianddeinol. - ■ '' -He strongly -vouched Mr. Wm. Pagh's oharaoter as a respectable farmer aod Rprihy of credi:. I left the venerable Vicar with, a livelier sense of • he happy relation of aj pastor snd people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are affliotedin mind, body, and estate. ,', On my ■ return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with ti deaire to see Mr. Pugbywhosa reputat'on stood bo high. His farm is cailud . anoom.Maw.r,BignifyiDg '"above thediuglo," situated. neer tha saamit of a smooth | round hill, overlooking a biautiful va'ley in i which is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Chu-ch of Llanddeiuol. , I found Mr. Pugh, apparesily about 40 yoars old, of medium heig -t.' rather slight, with a pleaaat and intelligent face. I told him I had hoa.d of his great affliction and of his romarkab!e and almost miraculous .relief, and that I had come to learn from his own lips, what thsro was of truth, in the reports; Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours j had taken a kindly, and sympathetic interest in bis case, f?r mauy years, bnt of hte their interest had beßn greatly awakened by a happy change in, hu condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is aubstan iallv true, with one exception. I never understood tbatmy c .tse web eve^r given up as hopeless by any Physician, I "have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good aB any in Wai s but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the deaired relicf t " - - i fifteen years ago, bo <=aid, I first became conscious of '& tour and deranged stomach and loss of eppetito, which the D .ctors told me was Dyspepsia, \vh&t food I cou d boi>t in my stomach seemed to do me no good and was ( ften thrown up with painful retchings. 1 his was followed alter a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was tieawd for that but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and tteenseof suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweatj aiwi 1 would have to go out of bed asd torn times Of en a dcor or window in winter weather to fill my lungs with ttte'. cold air, ■ About six years ago I bacum ; so bad that I could not sleep in bed. but had to take my unquit* rtst and creomy Bleep sitting in an armchair. Ky affliction seemed to be] working downward into my bowels as .well as upwards into\ my lungs and throat; 111 1 the violent coughing spasms whioh grew more frequent, my abdomen would jand collar, so and at times it would seem < that I should Buffooate. All this time I was reduced in Btrength &o that I could perform 10 hard labour and my spirits wore consequently much depressed. Kaily in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that cort-iinly I would not survve, when a neighbour who had some knowledge, or had heard of iho mcd" cine, sent to Aberjstwith by tho drivor ot J .he Omnibus Poat, Bme sevon mi es dißtand, 'and forth d a bottlo of Mother SoigeW Curativ» Byrup. This mediciue thoy ndministritcd to me according to tbe directions when to their tur-i-rise and.delight no less than my own, the sp'<em ceased, I became at easo, BEd my stomach calied My bowels were moved as by a gontle cathartic, and I felt a sons 3 of quiet comfort all through such ss I bad not tafore realized in many years I con d walk around ttie lit use nud breathe comfort-ib y ia a few hours afiec I had taken tho medicino. I hav^ continued to »tke ih-s- medicine daily 'ndw"fb."iomcthin/ over two " inontos, aud I •can lay down and sleep ssvo&tly at.nightd and nave n J ot sioce^aad Areourreh63 v 6f those terrible spasms 1 and ewcatirgs. I have b^en so long broken down ai»d reduced in cy' whole Bysten^ that I have not, .tried to ptrform any very hard out-door labour, 1 dee i>ing ie best to be prudent lest. by over-exertion 1 may do m>self injury' before my streugtb ia fully restored . I feel that my stomaoli and toowelu have been and are.being thoroughly reno> a ted and renewed by the medioine. Id fact j fuel like a new man. I have been mu.h congratulated by m> aeighbonrs.'t specially by the ! good Vicar of Lianryatyd, who with his syu pathetic wife have come three miles to shed toars of joy on my' recovery. I bade Mr, Pugh goodbye, kippy tunt even one at least among thousands had fo.iEd a remedy for an aggravating disease. llo.ieving tbis'reinarkabl 1 case of Dyspeptic Aethma ahoald bo 1 known to the public, I beg to eubinit the above facti as they are re* laied ro me. -i352b w bap F.
