GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES.

? 'IK. EDITOR,— ' A 'Mh opsnyiatf a fow Aboryshvitu, CVvoi^ashsre, Wnks, I beau", rolftted «hat seemed to me cither a fabulous story or a marvellous cuvo. The btfty was that » poor su&'ror who had not boon »ble to lio down in bed for six loug years, ijiven U p to dio by oil tho Dcatora, had baen apeodily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was rotated with tho more implicit confidenoo from tho circimietanco, as waa said, that the Vicar of Llnn-ystyd w»a familiar with the facts, and conlu vouch for the tmth of tha roport. If living a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Ltunrystyd to call upon the Vicar the Jhev. T. Evanß, and to enqaire about this wonderful cmo, Though a total etrauterto him, both ho and his wife moat entertained ma in a half hour's conversation, prineipa ly touching the case of Mr. Pngh, in which they saemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufEoricgs, and now rejoiced in what seemed to thorn a most remarkable ourp. "l'he Vicar romarked that ho presumed his jviine had been connected wit 1 ! tho report from his having mentioned tho case to Mr, John Thomas, a chomi&t of Llanon, tie said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident; of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He stiongly vouched Wr. V7m, Pagh'a character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vioar with a, livelier aenso of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feoliog that he waa one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, and ostate. On my return to Aberyatwitb, I was impressed with a desire to Bee Mr. Fugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called t'anoom«Mawr, signifying •• above the dingle," situated near tha summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Cnuroh of Llanddeino'. 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 hoard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to loam from his own lips, what; there was of L truth in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic Interest in his case fjr many years, bnt of late their interest had beea greatly awakened by a happy change in Ma condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is substantial!? true, with one exception. I sever understood that my c^sq was ever given up a3 hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good aa any in Wales, bat unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became cossoious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me waa Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomaoh seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful retohings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat whioh tho Doctors called br oncbitis, 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, aikl'l would have to go out of bed and sometimes open a door or window in winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed. bnt had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. 55 y affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat, Iv 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 so that I could perform xio hard labour and my spirits were consequently mush depressed. JSarlv 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 *he Omnibus Post, some seven miles distand, and fetchtd a bottle of Mother iJoigol'a Curative Syrup. This medicine they riministrated to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no lers than my own, the sp?sm ceased, I became at ease, and my k omach 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 conid walk around tbe house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken tha medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something ovor two months, and I can lay down and sleep aweatly at nights and have not since had arecurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to porform any very hard out-door labour, doemiDg it best to be prudent lest by over-exo tion I may do myself injury before my strength >s fully restored . I feel that my stomach and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact j feel like a new man, I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vioar of Llaßrystydj who with his sympathetic wife hare come throe miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I hade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foaad a remedy for an aggravating disease.Believing this remarkable oaao of Dyspeptic Asthma should bo known to tho public, I beg to submit the abovo faots bh they are related to me. &352 h w bsp F, T.
