QRB&.T EXOITEMENI IR_ AIJS .rDout a marveiiou3 "euro " " Tiviug Six Years Without Going To Bed. MB, EDITOR,— WhiIe spsnding a few days at the pleasant seaside town of Aborystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous oure. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not been oblo to lie down in bed for Bix long years, given up to die by all the Dootors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confldeuoa from the oirou instance, as was eaid, that tha Vioar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, aud could vouch for the truth of tho report. ' Having a littlo curiosity to know howsuoh stories grow in tr*velliag, I took the liberty while at the vill&go of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vioar the ilev. T, Svans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Thoagh a total stranger to hitn, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in , a half hour's conversation, principally touching the cage of Mr. Pugh, iv which they seemed to take a deep aud sympathetic interest, having bben familiar with his sufferings, aud now rejoiced in what Deemed to them a most remarkable cure, ihe Vicar remarked that he presumed his nivme had been oonnooted with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. Ho said Mr- Pngh was formerly a resident of th,eir parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vonohed Mr. Wm* Pugh's oharaoter as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vioar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feelbg that he was one 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 called l aucom-M»wr,signifying '• above the dingle," situated near the saatmit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovoly ivy-mantle 1 Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugh, appareatly about 40 yaaro old, of medium heigat. rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his great amiotion and of his remarkable and almost miraculous rolief, aud that I bad 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 aud sympathetic interest in bis oaso tot 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 substantial!? true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician, I have been treatad by saveral Dootors hereabouts, as good aB any in Wales but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first, became oonsoiousof a sour and deranged etomaoh aud loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hola in my stomao 1 seemed to do me no good aud was often frown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a i-»w soreness of the throat whioh the Dootors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that., but with little sucoess. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of sufEooation. especially nights, with clammy sweat, nscl i would have to go out of bed aad sometimes open a doo* 1 ->r 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 in an armchair.- My affliction 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 Beem that I ' should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that I could porform no hard labour aud my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early in thislaet 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 tho driver ot *he Omnibus Post, some seven miles distand, and fetohtd a bottle of Mother tieigel's Curative Syrup, This modioine they administrated to mo according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, ths 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 the house aud breaths comfortably in a few hours after I had taken tho medioine, I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down aud sleep sweetly at nights and have not big cc had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. I have been so long broken down and reduced in my whole sysfem 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 stomach and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated aud renewed by the medioino, In fact j 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 throe miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery, I bade Mr, Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foJHd a romedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspept c Asthma should bo known to the publio, I beg to submit tho above facts aa they are related to me, a 352 h w bsp F. T. w.
