CJEEAT EXOITEMBN2 IN ALES .bout a marvellous cure living Six Years Without Going To Bed. MB^ EDITOR,— WhiIe spending a few daya at tho pleasant seaside towa of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous ouro. ' Tho etory wa3 that a poor sufferer who had not beoa able to lie down in bed for six long years, «iven up to die by all the Dootors, had been speedily oured by some Patent Mediolao. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vioar of Llanrystyd was "familiar with the foots, and oould vouoh for the t.-uth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how Bush stories grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llaurvstyd to oall upon the Vioar the Itev. T. Evans, and to enqairo about this wonderful oure, Though, a total stranger to hiai, both he and hia wife moat graciously entertained me in \& half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr. Pugh, ia whioh they seemed to tako a deep and sympathetic interest, having boen familiar with his sufferings, and now rojoioed in what Beemed to them a most remarkable oure. The, Vioar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report (rom hia having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a ohemist of Llanon. He said Mr. Pugh waß formerly president of their parish, but was now living' in the parish of Llanddeinol. He '■ strongly vouched f lfr. Wm. Pugh's character as a respeotable farmer and worthy of credit. I loft the venerable Vioar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, foeliog that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are affliotedin tninri, body, and estate, On, my return, to Aberjst* ith, l was. impressed with a desire to see Mr. Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is callvd L'ancom'Mft.wr,signifying '■ above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful vaUey in whioh is situated the lovely ivy-mantle 1 Ohurch of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, appareatly about, 40 years old, of medium heig-it. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I toldhim I haa heard of his great affliotion 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 the reports. Mr/ Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest ia his case f;r 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, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never .understood that my oase was ever given up as' hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by s«verat Dootors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he sold, I first became oonsoious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, whioh the Dootors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I oould hoi! in my stomach seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with painful This vras 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, and 1 would have to go out of bed and eom&timea open a door or window in winter-weather to fill my lungs with the oold air. About six years ago I beoama so bad that I could not sleep in bed. but had to take my unquiet rest and droamy sleep sitting in an armchair. &y affliotion seemed to be working downward into my bowels aa 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 bo that I could perform no hard labour and my spirits wore consequently much depressed. JBarly in thislait spring I had a still more severe spasmodic-attaok, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by tha drivsr otihe Omnibus Post, some seven miles distand, and fetohtda bottle of Mother ieigel'B Curative Syrup, This modioine they administrated to me according to the directions, -when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, tho spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle oathartio, 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 andbreatho comfortably in a few hours af tec I hod taken tho medicine, I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had a recurrence of those terri' ble spasms and swoatirgs. "I havo been so long broken down and reduoed in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hwd 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 stomach and bowels have boen and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the mediofno, In foot I feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my ncighoonrs, especially by the good Vioar of liianrystyd, 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 foand 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 facts as they are rotated to me. a3s2hvr bap F. T. w.
