GREAT EXCITEMENI W WALES .nous a raarveiiou3 care' [iviug Si* Years Without Going To Bed, A/TR. EDITOB,— WhiIe spending a fow i.V.i daya ar. the. pleasant saaside towa of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I beard related what seemed to me cither a fabulous story or a marvellous oure. The rtery was that a poor sufferer who had not been abla to lie down in bed for six long years, : ; iveu up to die by nil tho Doctors, bed been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, It was related with the more implicit confidf nco from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Lianrystyd was familiF.r with the f acte, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how suoh stories grow in travelling, I took tha liberty whila at the village of Ltenrystydto cail upon tho Vicar the itev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to hitu, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take a ■ deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkab'e 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 chemist of Llanon. He stid Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr. Wm, Pugh's character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with c livelier sense of ihe happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that ho was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted iv mine, body, and estate. On, my return to Aberyst* ith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whoso reputation stood bo higb. His form is callvd 1 ancom-Mawr, signifying '• above the dingle,* 1 situated near ths saaamit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautif al valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of . Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, appsreetly ' 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 &nd almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from his owb lips, what there waa of 'truth in the ■ reports. Mr. Pagh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case for many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad> eaid he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood tbat my ctse was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts', &s good as any in Wales but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ev6r brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became consoiouß of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me waa Dyspepsia. What food I coutd hold in my stomach 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 whiob 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, &*d 1 would have to go out of bed aad come times open a dcor 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. but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting ia an urmohair. My affliotion seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. Ia the ' violent coughing spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse and at times it would Beem 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 mush depressed. Early in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believieg 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 *ho Omnibus Post, snme seven miies distand, and fetch, d a bottle of Mother SeigeVs Curative Syrup, This medicine they administrated to me according to tbe directions, when to their eurprise and delight no loss than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach calired, My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through suoh as I bad not bofore reulized iv many years I oould walk around the house sndbroatbt; comfortably in a few hours after I h&d taken tho medicine, I have continued to take the medicine daily now fOi- something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and havo notaiace had a recurrence) of those terrible sp&3nis and swoatirgs. I havo been bo long broken dovrn and reduced in my whole system that I havo not tried to perform any very hold out-door labour, deeming it beat to be prudent lest by over-exetion I may do mjself injury before my Btrength is fully restored , I feel that my stomaoh and bowels have boon and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine, In faot 1 feel like a now man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, espaoially by the good Vioar of Ll&arystyd, who with hia sympathetic wifo have come threo miles to shed tears of joy ou my recovery. I bade Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foand a remedy for an Eggravsting disease. Believing this romarkabla case of Dyapeptio Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit tho above foots au vbey are rnlaied to me. k352 h v* bsp F.
