GREAT EXCITEMENI IN ALBS .Dout a marvellous cure living Six Years Without Going To Bed. MB. EDITOR,— WhiIe eponding a few days at the ploasant saaside town of Aborystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard relaled what seemed to me oithur a fabulous story or a.raarvolloua cure. The Pto'ry was that a poor suffaror who had not beea able to lie down in bad for sis long years, givea up to die by all the Dootors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medioiae. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the oiroumstanoe, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrysfcyd was familiar with the facta, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how suoh stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Ltanrystyd to call upon the Vioar the jSov,' T, Evana, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, in whioh 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 remarkable ouro. The Vioar remarked that he presumed his name had been oouneoted with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr. John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon, He sud Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but waaaiow living in the parish of Llanddeinol. (p He strongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh's chaiaoter as a respectable farmer and worthy of orodifc, I left the venerable Vioar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was ono who truly 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 oallad iancom-Mawr, signifying '* abore the dingle," situated near ths summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in whioh is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, apparently about 40 years old, of medium hoigut. 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 waa of truth in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis case fur many years, bnt of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in -hia 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 saveral Dootors 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 oonsoious of a sour and deranged stomaoh aud loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told mo was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to do me no good and j was often thrown up with painful retchings. This waa followed after a time with hoarseness and & raw soreness of the throat whioh the Dootors 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, aod 1 would have to go out of bed and eom6times open a door or window in winter weather to fill my lunga with the cold air. About six years ago I booamo so bad that I oould not sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy Bleep sitting in an armchair. My amiokion seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat, 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 so that I could perform no hard ! labour and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Earl; in this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attack, and my .family and neighbours beoame alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard 1 of the medioine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver ot the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distand, and fetchtda bottle of Mother Seigel'o Curative Syrup, This medicine they administrated to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my Btomaob. 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 around tbe house and breaths comfortably in a few hours after I had taken tho medioine. I have continued to take tho medioine daily now for something.over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had areourrenoo of those terrible spasms and Bwaaticgs. • I have been so 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 is, fully restored . I feel that my stomaoh rind bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medioine. In faot 1 feel like 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 shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr, Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had frond a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspep* t'c Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above facts at) they are related to me, a352h wbsp F. T, w.
