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 seaside town of Aberystwith Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related wha seemed to me either a fabuious story or marvellous cureThe story was that of a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down m bed for six long year?, given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, was related with the more implicit conr fidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar nith (he facts, and could vouch for the truth, of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such j stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, i while at the vilbge 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 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 narre had been connected with the report from Irs having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resider l of fieir parish, but was now living m the parish of Llanddeinol. 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 with ail who are rfflicted m mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was im« pressed with a desire to see Mr Puch, whose reputation stood so hi^h. His farm is called Pancom-M?.wr, signifying "above the dingle," siturted near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley m which is situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, of 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 relief, and that I bad come to learn from his own lips what there was of truth m the reports, Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbors had taken 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 Physician. 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. Fifteen years ago, he said, I first becam conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and Iqss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food J could keep m my stomach 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, which the Doctors called bronchitis, shld I was treated for that, but with little success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffo cation, especially nights with clammy sweat and I would h,ave to get out of bed, an sometimes open a door or window m wint weather to fill noy 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 dreamy 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 violent couching spasms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would' ejtpafid and collapse f ana at tjm'cs it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced ni strength so that I could perform no hard labor, and my spir ts were consequently much depressed. Early m this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors became alarmed, believing th"t cer, tainly I would not survive, when a neighbor! who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles dist.u,t and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. - . This medicine they administered to me according to the directfon§, w^eii to their surprise and delight no less th.ai} my qwd, the spasm cease 4, I became at eas,e, and my stomach was calmed. ftfy bpwels were moved as by a gentle catlwrticj 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 I h.ad taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine d.aily*now for something over two. months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights an<? have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been so long broken down and reduced m my whole system that I have not iried to perform any very hard outdoor labor, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully restored. I feet that my stomach. ?nd bowels h?.y£ been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a. new mam I have been muoh congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of Llanrystyd, who with 1 his 'sympathetic wife' have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recoveiy. I bade Mr Pugh gp,od,by,e, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, I beg submit the above facts as they are related me. T .T.W,
