OREAT&BXOITEMENT IN WAL'SS .'boat a marvellous care. Living Six Years Without Going To Bed. MB. EDITOR,— 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 a marvellous cure.' The, story was that a. poor sufferer who had not beenYable 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 implioit onfidenoefrotu the ciroumßtanoe, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the t.uth of the report. . Having a little ouriosity to know how such stories grow la travelling, lioak the liberty while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vioar the £cv. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though & total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, prinoioally touohing the case of Mr. Pugh, iv whioh they seemed to take a deep and srmpatnetio interest, haying been familiar with Mb sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable ouro. The Vioar remarked that he presumed his name had. been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a ohemiet of Llanon. He said Mr. Pugh was formerly a -resident of their paiieh, but was now living in the parish • of Llanddeinol. , He strongly vouched Mr. Wo. Pugh'a character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vioar with a livelier senie of the happy relation of a pastor and 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 a desire to Bee Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called I'ancom-Mawr, signifying •• above the dingle," situated near the saramit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantlei Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium heigot. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had haard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraonlous relief, and that I had come to learn from his own lips, what there was of ;trnth in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case for many yearß,'bnt of late their interest bad been greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I sever undeistood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician, I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, SB good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he Bald, I first became conscious of a sour and r deranged -stomaoh and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told me' was Dyspepsia, What food I could hold in my stomach 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 the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffooation. especially nights, with clammy sweat, wad I would have to go out of bed aad sometimes open a door or window in whiter weather to , fill my lungs with tbe oold air. About six years ago I became so bad thai I could not sleep in bed. but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep Bitting in an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. Ia the violent coughing , spasms whioh grew more j 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 no hard labour and my spirits were consequently much depressed. j Early in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodio-attaok, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not Burvive, when a neighbour, who had gome knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by tho j driver of the Omnibus Poet, some seven miles distand, and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel'e Curative Syrup. Thiß medioice they administrated to me according to the directions, when to their butprise and delight no less than my own, the epssm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach calmed. 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 oonld walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. 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 sinoe had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatiegs. 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 best to be prudent lest by over-exeitfon I may do myself injury before my strength Is fully restored . I feel that my stomach and bowelß have beon and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medioine. In fact 1 -feel like a new man, I have been muoh congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vioar of Llanrystyd, 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 fooad a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should bo known to the public I beg to submit the above faots aa they are related to me, a 852 h w bßp . F. T, W.
