G33AT BXOITEMBNI IN WALES .bout a tnarveiioiu cui37 Living Six Years Without Going To Bed, a " c MR. EDITOR,— WhiIe spending a law days at the pleasant neaside town of j Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Walos, I heard related »hst seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story was that a poo? sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, $iven up to die by all the Doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was e&id, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was ■ familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the t;uth of the report. Havinsj a little curiosity to know how suah stories grow in travelling, I took tho 1-berty while at the village of liianryßtydto call upoa the Vicar the xiev. T, Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cute. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, prinoipaUy touching the case of Mr. Pagb, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having b en familiar with b?s sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to thorn a most remarkable oure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had bpen connected with .the report from hia having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a ohemist of Llacon, He said Mr. Pugh was formerly a reoident of their pa i-h, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. lie strongly vouched Ifr. Wm. Pagh'a chfUßcter as a respectable farmer aad vorihy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with s livelier sense of *he happy relatioa of a pastor and people, feeling that ho was one who truly I sympathised with all who areaffiiotedinmiai, body, and estate, On my return to Aberystwith, I was mi- j pressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugb, whose reputation stood so high, His farm is called J'ancom-M(iwr,Bignif>ing • above the dingle," situated near Via s-jsamit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a bcautxf al vailey in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantle J' Church of i Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, appareatly about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleauant 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 learn from his own lips, what there was of truth in tho reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic ictoreet in bis case for many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in hia condition.- What yoa report of having heard abroad, eaid he, is substantially true, with one exception. I sever undei stood that my c*se wob ever givon up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any in Walts, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he eaid, I first became oonsoious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of spoetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia, Whet food I could hold in my Btomsc . seemed to do me no good and was often thrown vp w" v h paiulul retchings, This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the tiroai which the Doctors called broncbvtiß. nd I wea treated for thai, but with little success. Tbo a came shortness of breath and a Beeseof suffocation, especially nights, with dummy sweat, ttsd 1 would have to go oct of bed aad sometimes oi on a door or wndow in winter weathsr to fill my lungs w.'th the cold air. About six years a^o I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in au armchair. My affliotfou seemed to be workleg downward into lry bowels as well as upwards into my Lings and throat. Ia the violent coughing spasms which grew mors frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse and at times it would Beam that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that I could perform no hard labour and my spirits 1 were consequently much depressed. 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 ear five, when a neighbour, who had some know'edge, or had heard of »\>emed'cine,Bent to Aberystwifch by tho driver oi the Omnibus Poot, some seven mites diet and, and fetched a bottle of Mother teigel's Curative Syrup, This medicine they administrated to me accordi- •? to the directions, when to their Burprise 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 breaths comfortably in a few hours after I had taken tho medicine, I have continued to take the medicine daily now for sometbin j over two moatbs, and I can lay down r id sleep swestly at nights and have not since had areoprreuoeof those terrible spasms and swuatirgs. I- have been so lopg broken down aud reduced in my whoJe systoni that I have not tried to perform any very herd out-door labour, deenrDg it best to be prudont lest by over-exe:tion 1 may do mjself injury before my strength is fully restored . I feel that my stqmaoh and towels have been and ore beisg thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine, In fact I feel like a new man. I have baen muoh congratulated by ray neighbours, especially by the good Vic< r of LUmrystyd, who with his syrcpachetic wifce have como three miiea to shed tears oi joy oa my recovery. I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foa&d a romedy for aa aggravating disease. Relieving this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be kuown to the public, I bog to Bubmit the' above facts as they are rotated to me. 0,362 h vy bsp P. T. w.
