GREAT EXOITEMENI IN ALES .bout a marvßUou3 cure living Sk Years Without Going To Bed, MB. EDITOR,— WhiIe spanding a few daya at Die pleasant soaaida town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, "Wales, I beard related what seemed to mo eithor a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. Theatory was that a poor 6uffererwho had not been able to lie down in bed for Bix- long years, given up to di 6br all the Doctors, had been speadily cured by some Patent Medioiao. It was ralatad with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd waa familiar with the faot3, and could vouch for the truth of the report, Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Ltaarystydto call upon the Vioar the ISev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful oure, Though a total Btranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the oaae of Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to taks a deep and sympathetic interest, having bsen 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 chemist of Llanon.« He said Mr. Fugh was formerly 'a resident of their parieh, but was now living in , the parish of Llanddeinol. Be strongly, vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh's character as a respeotable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vioar with a livelier senso 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 oallec i'ancom-Mawr, signifying '• abo7e the dingle," situated near the sasamit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which iB situated tho lovely ivy-mantle 1 Chiron of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rs.th.er 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 trnth in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case for many years, bnt of late their interest hod 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 cisc was ever given up as 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 j conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me wag Dyspepsia. What food\l could hola in my stomaoh seemed to do me no good and was often thrown np with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, but with little sucoesa. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, ahd 1 would have to go out of bed and eomstimes open a door or window in winter weather to £111 my lungs with the oold air. About six years ago I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed. bat had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. la the violent coughing spasms which 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 so that I could porform bo hard labour and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early in this la*t spring I hfti a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my family and neighbours booame alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, Bent to Aberystwith by the driver ot ihe Omnibus Post, some seven miles diatand, and fetchtd a bottle 6f Mother Seigel'e Curative Syrup. Thiß medicine they administrated to me according to the directions, when to their butprise 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 tile house and breathe comfortably in a few hours af tec I had taken the medicine, I have continued to take tho medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had v recurrence of those terrible spasms and swoatirgs. 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-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength iB fully restored . I feel that my stomaoh and bowels havo been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man, I have been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vioar of Llanrystydj 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 fojsd a remedy for an aggravating disease. , Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the publio, I beg to submit the above faots aa they are rolatedto me. »352 h w bep F.
