GREAT EXCITEMEreiNvfITALBS .bout "a marveiiou3 cure, Liviug Six Years Without Going To Bed. , i 1 MR. EDITOR,— WhiIe Bpßnding~a~fow days at the ploaeant seaside towa of , Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard . related what seemed to me cither a fabu'ous ' story or a tnarvellouß cure. \ The Ftory 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 tho Dootora, hnd been speedily cured by some Patent Medioine. It was related with the more implioit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd w»a familiar with the faots, and could vouoh for the truth of the report. Haiing a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Lisnrystydto call upon the Vicar the Bey, T, Evans, and to euqaire about this wonderful cure. Though a total Btran^er to him, both he and bis wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, in whioh they seemed to tako a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable oure. 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 parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr. Wm« Pngh's character as a respeotable 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 sympathised with all who are affliotediu mind, body, and estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called ■ 1 anoom-Mawr, signifying '* above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Church 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 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 u truth in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest In bis oase for many years, bnt of late their interest bad been greatly awakened by a na PPy ohange in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my cause was ever given up aa hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became oonsoiouß of a sour and deranged stomaoh and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I ooutd hold in my stomaoh 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 Doctors 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 Bweat, aod i 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 beoame so bad that I could not sleep in bed. bat had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy eleep sitting in an armchair. A" y affliction Beamed to be working downward into my bowelß 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 times it would seem that I Bhould suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength bo that I could perform no hard labour and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early in thislait spring I had a still more severe spasmodio-attaok, and my family and neighbours beoame alarmed, believing that certainly I would not Burvive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medioine, sent to Aberystwith by tho driver qi the Omnibus Poet, some seven mites difltand, and fetchida bottle of Mother beigel's Curative Syrup. This medioine they administrated to me according to tbe directions, when to their surprise and delight no lees than my own, the spasm ceased, I beoame at ease, and my stomach calmed. My bowelß were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt, a sense fit quiet comfort all through suoh as I had not | before realized in many years, I oonld walk around the house and breathe comfortably in j 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 oan lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had areourrenoeof those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hatd 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 medicine. In faot 1 f eol lilio 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 Bhed tears of joy on my recovery. - I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foaad a remedy for an aggravating disease. Relieving this remarkable oase of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the publio, I beg to submit the above faots as they are related to me. a362h wbsp F. T. w. THE GREATEST WONDER Q F MODERN TIMES!
