GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CORE.

Living Six Ybaes Without Going to ..■:■: .-.■■ ' ■ ■'■ ' ■ Bed.-- ' ' Mr Editob,—While spending a few days at the pleasant eeaside town of Aberyetwith, Oardigonehire, Wales, I beard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. , The story was that a poor sufferer who had not been sole to lie down in bed for six long years, given up fcp die by all the doptora, hao been speedily cured by some patent medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrjstyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch -for the truth of the report. HaviHt; a little curiosity to know how euoh etorieß grow in travelling, I took the liberty while>at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev. T. Evans, arid to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both be and his wife most graciously . entertained me ia a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his Butferingi, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a moet remarkable cure. „...' The Vicar remarked that be presumed his name had been connected with the report from bis having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of L anon. He said Mr Pugh wat formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living ia the pariah of Llandeinol. He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pugh's character as a reapectable farroer and wcrthjl of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier cense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeliog tbafc ha was one who trul? sympathised with all who are sfflioted in.mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberyßtwitb, I wus im» pressed with a desire to see Mr Si ugh, whoee reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying " above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llandeinol. I found Mr I'ugh, apparently about 40 years old, of rasriiuin height, rather Blight,, wjitia iv pleasant, and, intelligent ,f&eo. ,1 told him I had heard of his great affliction, and of Ms marvellous and almost miraculous relief, and that, I had come to learn from his own lips what there was of truth in the reports. Mr Pugb remarked that his neighbors had 'taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in hie case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in his condition. ;? What you ; report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my ease was ever given- up;as hppelesß by any Physician* *ivhave, been treated^ by several Doctors b.ereafcboutSj as good #8 feny in Wales, but unfortunately no pvencription of theirs ever brought the .desired relief. -.;,; . ■ , Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomuch' and lobs ofrappetite, which the Doctors told me was D.yspepßia. What food I could hold in my Btomach Be mcd to do me no good, and wv» often thrown up with painful retchings. , This was followed after a time with » hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat which the Doctors called Bronchi'is, and I was treated for that with but little suocess. Ihen , came shortness of breath and a secre of suffi>cation, especially nights, with clammy sweat, and I would have to get out of bed and sometimes open a door or window in j winter weather to fill my lußgs with the cold •if. :. .. About six years ago I became so bad that I could not sleep in bed, but bad to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in ari armchair.. My tffliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In t tviolent con^hing spaptns which grew mor^ frequent, my abdomen would expand anf collapse, and at times it would setm that 1 should suffocate. 1 could perform no hard labor, and my spirits were consequently much depressed. Early in thie last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors became alarmed, relieving that certainly I would rot survive, when a neighbor who had some knowledge, or had beard of the medicine, sent to A berystwith by thr; driver of the Omnibus Pof-fc, some seven miles distant, and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Cura- | tiie Syrup. This medicine they administered to me ao cording to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no leas than my own, the spasms ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed My bowels were moved us by a gentle cathartic and I felt a sense 0' quiet comfort all through such as I bad not . before realised in ye-ire. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something aver two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had'a recurrence of those terrible spaftms and sweatings. I have been go 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 Btoinauh and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. Ici fact I feel like a new man I kave been much congratulated by my neighbours, especially the good Vicar of, Llanrystyd, who with his s^myathetid v 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 found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing tbis remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg to submit the above facts at they are related
