GstEAT EXO.ITSSIB3STI W WALES .-Dout a marvellous care. Liviug Six Years Wifioufc Going To Bed c MB, EDITOR,— VTTiiIe spending a few days at the pleasant soaside town of AberystwitU, Cardiganshire, Wales, I beard related whnt Beamed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. Tho ptory was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, given up to die by nil the Doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent MedioSse. It was related with the more implicit confi* donee from the circumstance, as was E&id, that tho Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and conld vouoh for the truth of the report, Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling,^ took the liberty while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Yioar tbe itev. T, Evans, aad to enquire about this wonderful cure, Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife moat rfraoiously 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 buen familiar with his Bufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. 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 chemist of Llanon. fie said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of L'anddoinol. ' fc'e strongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh's character as a respectable f srmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with e> livelier sense of (he happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who traty sympathised with all who are afflicted in 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 ancom-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-mantl6'l Church of Llanddoinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently abont £0 yoara old, of medium heigct. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent faces. 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 Jtruth in the reports. Mr. Pngh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case for many years, bnt of late thoir interest had 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 understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, os good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Dcotors told me was Dyspepsia, What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to do me no good and waß often thrown np 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 sweat, a&d 1 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, bat had to take my unquiet rest and areamy sleep sitting' in an armchair. My affliction seemed to be workiDg downward into my bowols as well as upwards into my lnngs and tkroat. Ia 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 bo that I could perform so hard labour and my spirits were conaequontly much depressed. Early inthißlastspringlhad astill more severe spasmodio-attaok, and my family and neighbours beoame alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a ceignbour t who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medioine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver ot »be Omnibus Post, seme seven miles distand, and fetciud a bottle of Mother Beigel'e Curative Syrup. This medicine they administrated to me according to tbe 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 suoh as I had not before realized in many years I conld walk j around the house and breaths comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medioino, 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 a recurrence of those terrible spasms and eweatirgs. I have been co long broken down aad 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-exe<tion I may do mjself injury before my strength is fully restored . I feel that my stomaoh and bowed havo been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medioine. In fact j feel liko a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Viosr of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shod tears of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr. Pugb goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foa&d a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the publio, I beg to submit tho above facts at) they are rolated to me. a352h wbßp F. T. w.
