GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES .boat a marvellous core, 1 living Six' Tears Without i Going To Bed, MR. EDITOR,— WhiIe sponding, . a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aberyetwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous oore. The Ptory was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, given ap to die by nil the Dootors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related-with the more implicit confidence from the oironmstanoe, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a littla curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelliog, I took the s liberty while at the village of Liaurystydto oall upon the Vicar the Uev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this Wonderful cure, Thoagt » total etran&er to him, both ho and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of •Mr. Pugh, in whioh they seemed to take a ideep and sympathetic* intareat, having been familiar with his Bufferings, and now rejoiced 'in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed hiß ;aame had been connected with the report from hi 9 having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a chemist of Llauon. He said | Mr. Pugh was formerly at resident of their patith, but was now living in the parish of .Llanddeinol."-' - -< i He strongly vonohed Mr. Wm. Pugb/s 'character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit . I left the venerable Vioar with. a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who truly isympathised with aU who are affliotedinmind, •body, and estate. ! On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. - Hlb farm is oallad ' l'ancom-Mawr, signifying '• above the dingle," situated near<the eutamit of a smooth round 'hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in whioh 'is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Church of iLlanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently iabout 40 years old, of medium heigtit. rather (slight, with a pleasant 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 his own lips, . what there was of truth in the reports. , , Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case for many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy ohange in hia condition. What you report of having heard abroad,' said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I ; Dever understood that my oitse wbs ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Dootors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs over brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became oonsoious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, whioh the Dcotors told me watDyepspsia, What food I could hold! in my stomach Beemed to do me no good and iwas often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarteness and a raw soreness of the throat whioh the Dootors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that but with little success, Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, ahd i would have to go out of bed and sometimes open a door or window in winter weather to fill my lungß with the cold air. About sir years ago I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed. bat had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep Bitting in an armohair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat, la the violent coughing spasms whioh grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse and at timea it would seem that I should suffocate. Ail this time I was reduced ( in strength so that I could porform no hard ' labour and my spirits were consequently , much depressed. j Early in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by tho driver ot »heOmnibus Pout, some seven miles dißtand, and fewhtd a botfle of Mother Seigei's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administrated to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach calmed. My bowels were moved as by a. gentle oathartio, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had not before realized in many years, I conld walk around the house and breath* comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medioine, I have continued to take the medioine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had areoarrenceof those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been bo long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it beat to be prudent lest by over-exe:tion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully restored . I feel that my stomaoh and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medioine. In faot I feel like a new man. I have been muoh congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vicar of Llanrystyd, who with hia sympathetic 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 foond a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptio Asthma should bo known to the public, I beg to submit the above faota as they are related to me, a3s2hwbsp F. T. W.
