GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WARES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE. LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor, —While spending a few days at the pleasant seas'de town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabuious story or a marvellous cure The story was that of a poor suflerer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six 1-ng years, given up to die by all doctors, had 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 Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the icpoit. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the V car, the Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wondetful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wile most graciously entertained me in a half hour’s conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take adeep and sympathetic interest, having bem familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most vemarl able cure. The V car remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from h s having mentioned the case t > Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddemol. He strongly vouched Mr William Pugh’s character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a lively sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, fling that he was one who truly symna'hised w th all who are ; fflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Put»h, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying “abovethe dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-man ted Church of Llanddeinol I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. 1 told him I had heard of his great affliction -and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and ’.hat I had come ta leam from his own lips what there was of truth in the reports
