GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor,— While spending a few days at the pleasant seasde town of Abcrystw/Vh Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related wha seemed to me either a fabuious story or marvellous cure The story was thnt of a poor suflerer who had not been able to lie down m bed (or six long year-, given up to die by all doctors, had been sneediiy cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit con* ndence from rjie circumstance, as w.vs said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the face, and could v- uch for the truth of the report. Having a litt'e ,cu v ionty to know how such stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the vill'ge of Llaniystyd to call upon the V car, the Key. T. Fvans, and to enquire abou- this wondeiful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most gracio"s?y entertained me m a half hour's conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, m which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having ben familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced m what seemed to them a most remarkable 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 liv ng m the parish of Llandde:nol. 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 relatkm of a pastor and people, ferling that he was one who truly symrathised with all who are .' fflic'.ed m mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was impressed with a desire to see Mr Puph, whose reputation stood so high. His firm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying "above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley m which is situated the lovely ivy-mant'ed Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, c f medium height, lather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. 1 told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous reVcf, and '.hat I had come to learn from his own lips what there was of truth m the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had token a kindly and sympathetic interest m his case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change m his condition. What you report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any I'hysicia^. 1 have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any m Walts, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. H'tecn y«»ars rgo, re .«aid, I first became conscious of a sour aid deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the loctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could keep m my stomach seemtd to do me no good and mi as often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed af er a time with hoarseness ard a raw soreness of the throat, which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for tha', but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights with clammy sweat, and I wou'd have to get cut of bed, ajicj sometimes open a door or window In winter wither to fill n y lunga Vrith the COW «ir,

.About six years ago I became so bad that I cou'«l not sicej) m bed, bin lial to takf- m■• unquiet re t and dr aiiy sleep sitting m an armchair. My affliction seemed :o be woiking downwards into my bowels as well as upwards Hfo my lungs and throat. In the v'o'ent. cou hing s;wsms which grew more f cijuent, n?y abdomen woai<l expand and collnpse, and at tine it would seem that I should sifTucate. .Ml t'is time 1 was r c'ueed ni strength so that I could perform no hard ■ a.V>, a- d my fpir ts were consequently mv h depres cd. Eirly m this last s ring I had a still more severe spasmodic a' tack, and my family and neighbors Vec- me alarmed, believing th»t cer, Uinl • I would not siuvive, whe-= a neighbor! wiio lia.i some knowledge, or had heard of Uc me icinc, s-.:iit to Aberystwi'h by the diver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Th is medicine they administered to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, anH I felt a s-nse of qui'.-t comfort all through such fs I had no J before realised m many years. I culd walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after I had taken '.he medicine I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months and I can lay down a,rd sleep svvce ly at nights an* 5 have nor since had a recurrence of lh.*e ter ible spa nis and sweatings have been so long broken down and reduced m my whole system that I have not -ried to perform any very hard out» door labor, deeming it best to be prudent icst by ove-rxertioM I may do myself injury before my s'rengih is fully restored. 1 feel that my stomach \nd bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact : feel like a new m n I have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vica r of i lanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. I bad • Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease Helicvi-.e th's remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public,l big submit the above facts as they are rel ited me.
