GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES . Bout 'a marvellous cure. living Six Years Without Going To Bed MR. EDITOR,— WbiIo spending a few days at tbo pleasant soaßide town of Aborystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story waa that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, given up to die by all the Doctors, had been speedily oured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implioit confidence from the circumstance, as was paid, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took tho liberty while at the village of L'anrystyd to call upon the Vicar the iJev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Thocgt a total stranger to him, both he and bis wife most rfraoiously entertained me in a hal£hour's conversation, principaUy touching the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they Beemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, > having been familiar with his Bufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable oure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his nune had been connected with the report from his having mentioned! the case to Mr. John Thomas, a ohemitt of Llaron. H e said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their pa^i'h, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. Be st'ongly vouohed Bfr. Win. Pagh's chataoter as a respectable farmer and »orihy of credi . I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier senee of he happy relation of a pastor snd p6ople ( feeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, and estate. On my return to Aberjstwith, I was impressed with a desire to ccc Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so higb. His farm is called i ancom-Mnwr, signifying '• above the dingle," situated near the satsmit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantle J Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium heigct. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of bis great affliction and of his remarkable and' almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his ( own lips, what there waa of truth in the reports. Mr. Pagh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case f-r many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a j happy change in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my cue wbs ever given up as hopelesa by any Physician. I have been treated by several Dootors hereabouts, ss good as any in Walt b but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first heoame conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my Btomaoh seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. Ibis was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw sorenesa'of the throat whioh the Dootors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that bnt with little success. Then came shortness cf breath and a B6nse of suffocation especially nights, with clammy sweat, aad i would have to go out of bed and sonic times open a di or or window in winter weattier to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that I could no. sleep in bed. bat had to take my unquiet rtst and dreamy sleep eitting in an armchiir. &y affliction seemed to be workIng downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and ti»roat. la the violent coughing spasms whioh grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse 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 conaequently much depressed. Early in this last spring I bad a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and ceighbeurs became alarmed, believißg that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or hod heard of the medicine, sent to Aberjstwith by tho driver ot the Omnibus Post, seme seven miles distand, and fetch d a bottle of Mother Seigel'g Curative Syrup, • This medicine they administrated to me according to tbe directions, when to their surprise and delight no lees than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach cal a cd. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartio, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through suoh as I had not before realized in many years I conld walk around tbe 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 I oan lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not Binoe had a recurrence of those terri* ble spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so locg broken down and reduced In my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hifd 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 stomaob and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In faot i feel like a new man, I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vicar of Llanrystydj who with his sy a. pathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foand a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkably case of Dyspoptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above facts au they are related to me. a 352 h w bap F. T. W. I* A. X.
