BREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES .boat a marvellous cure, Living Six Years Without Going To Bed. MB. EDITOB,— 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 & marvellous cure. The story was 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 Dootors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd w»8 famill»r with the facts, and' could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how suoh stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llaorystyd to call upon the Vicar the iCev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Thoagt a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touohing the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having b9en familiar with his sufferings, and'now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable ours. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his came had been connected with the report from his haviog mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the pariah of Llanddeinol. "~ He Btrongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh's oharaoter as a respectable farmer aad worthy of orediJ. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier seme of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he waa one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, and estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to Bee Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called I ancom-Mawr, signifying •• above thediugle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in whioh iB situated the lovely ivy-mantlel Ohuroh of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of hia 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 inbis case for many years, bnt of late their interest hod been greatly awakened by a happy ohauge in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, eaid he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my oase was ever given up aa hopeless by any Physioian. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription o£ theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a bout and 1 deranged stomach and losb of appetite, wnioh the Dootors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my atomaoh seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat whioh the Dootors called bronohitis, and I was treated for that but with little success. Thea came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, nndl would have to go out of bed and sometimes open a door or w-ndovr in winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. ' About six years ago I became so bad that I could not seep in bed. but had to take my unquiet rest and oreamy sleep eitting in an armchair. £*y atfliotion eeemedtobe workIng downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and t.»roat. In the violent coughing spasms which 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 so that I could perxorm no hard labour and my spirits were consequently muoh depressed. ifiarl; in this laat spring I hod a still more severe epasmodic-attacc, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had gome knowledge, or had heard of the med ! cine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver oi'.he Omnibus Post, some seven miles difitand, and felchtd a bottle of Mother tteigel'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 cathartic, 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 breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now f or something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not eiuce had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so long oroken down and reduced In my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard out-door labour, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over-exettion 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 foot j feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Viosr of Llanryatyd, who with his 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 fonnd a remedy for an aggravating disease. ' Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic 1 Asthma should be known to the publio, I beg to submit the above foots as they ore related to me. aSS2hwbsp F.T^w.
