GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES . boat a marvellous; cure T iviug Si* Years Without; Going To BedMB. EDITOR, — While spanding a fow days at the pleaaant soaside town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I beard related what seemed to me cither a f abuloua story or a marvellous cure. Thß story was that a poor Buffererwho hal not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, givea up to die by all the Doctors, had been speedily cared by some Patent Medioiae. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the eirounistauoe, as waß eaid, that the Vioar of Llaurystyd w»3 familiar with the facta, and could vouch for the truth of tha report. Having a little curiosity to know how suoh stories grow in travelling, I took tha liberty while at the village of Lianrystydto call upoa the Vioar the Jfiev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure, Though a totai stranger to Mat, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in a half hour's conversation, principally touohing the oaseof Mr. Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having b3en familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vioar remarked thatjhe presumed his name had been conneoted with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr, John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He s»id Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their pa<i*h, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly voached Mr. Wm. Pugh's charaoter as a respeotable farmer and worthy of oredit, I left the venerable Vioar with a livelier eenee of the happy relation of a pastor and people feeling 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 i anoom-Mftwr, signifying ''above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantlel Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr. Pugb, appar^tly about 40 years old, of medium heigot. rather slight, with a pleaaant and intelligent face. I told him I had hoard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraouU re relief, and that I had come to learn from hU own lips, what there was of trath in the reports. Mr. Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in bis oase for many years, bnt of late their interest had beea greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. What you report of having heard abroad, eaid he, is substantially true, with ono exception. I never understood that my ciso was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by ssveral 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 beoame oonsoious of a sour and deranged stomaoh and loss of appetite, whioh the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could holJ in my stomaoh 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 whioh the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that bnt with little sucoess. Then came shortness of breath and a 66useof suffocation, especially nights, with olammy sweat, nndl would have to go out of bod aad sometimes open a door or window in winter weather to fill my lunga with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that I could not Bleep in bed. but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an armohair. 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 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. Early in this last spring I had a still more severe sposmodic-attaok, and my family and neighbours beoame 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 fetoh.da bottle of Mother 3eigel'a Curative Syrup. This medioine they administrated to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the sp*sm oeiaed, I beoame at ease, and my stomach calmed. My bowels wore moved as by a gentle onthartio, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through suoh as I bad not before realized in many years I conld walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine, I have continued to take the medioine daily now for something over two months, and I oan lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not Bince had areourrenoaof those terrible spasms and sweatirgs. 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 mjself injury before my strength is iully restored , I feel that my stomaoh and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact i feel like a new man, I have been mush congratulated by my neighbours, especially by the good Vioar of Llanryßtyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bide Mr. Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had foasd a remedy f ot an aggravating disease, Believing tos remarkable oase of Dyspoptio Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above f aots ay they ore related to me. a?s2hwbsp F.
