I GRISAT EXCITEMENT IN WALLS ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CUKE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor, —While spending a few days at the pleasant seas de town of Abevystwith Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related wla seemed to me either a fabuiou<; story or marvellous cure The r^ory was that of a poor sufferer who had not been able to :ie down m bed for six 1 >ng year : , given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, t was related with the more implicit con6dence from '1 c circumstance, as w;s said, that the Vicar of Ltanry&tyd was familiar with •he fac s, and could v uch f.T the truth of the > epoi t. Having a litt'e ciriosity to know how such stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the vill-ge of Llamystyd to c*ll upon the V car, the Rev. T. Evans, a;id to enquire abou f this wondeiful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously 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 been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced m what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his navre had been connected with the report from h s having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living 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 relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one who truly sympathised w'.th all who are afflicted m mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was im» pressed wih a desire to see Mr Pueh, who^e 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 m which is situated the lovely ivy-mant ed Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, rf medium height, >ather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. ) told him I had heard of hi; great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and shot I had come to learn from his own lips what there was o' truth m the repcrtf, Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had tnken 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. Whr.t you report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. . 1 never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physicia 1 . 1 have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any m WaUs, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Pi teen years £i go, re ?aid,\ I first becatn conscious of a sour ad deraaged stomach and loss of appetite, whivh the Doctors told me wai Dyspepsia. What food I could keep m my stomach seemed to do me no good and was often tLrown up with painful retchings. This was followed af.er a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat, which the Docto s called b onchi'is, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Then c-a'ne shortness o f breath ani a sense of suffo cation, e. c peciaUy nights with clammy sweit and I would have to get rut of bed, an sometimes open a door or window m wii t; weather to fill 11 y lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so' bad th; I could not sleep m bed, but had to take m unquiet re t and dr amy sleep sitting m an armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downwards into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the vio'ent cou. hing spasms which grew mo.c frequent, my abdomen would expand find collapse, and at times it would seem thst I should svffocate. All this time I was reduced ni strength so that I could perform no hard labn', and my sspi ts were consequently mv h depressed. Ear'y m this last spring I had a still me re severe spasmodic a'tack, and my family End neighbors V.ecnne alarmed, believing th*t cer, tainly I would notsuivive, whe ; a reightorf who had some knowledge, or had heard of the me iicine, sent to Aberystwilh by the diver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles dist.li t and fetched a bottle of Mother SeigePs Curative Syrup. This 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, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had. not before realised m many years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after 1 had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights an<? have not since had a recurrence of tho'e terrible spasms and sweatings, . I have been fo long broken down and reduced m my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very hard outdoor labor, deeming it best to be piudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully restored. I feel that my stomach r,nd bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. \n fact I feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of Hanrystyd, who with his sympathetic 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. Pidievine this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg submit the above facts as they are related me. F .T.W. T§nsers, ' TENDERS. mENDERS wanted for CUTTING, 1.
