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 Wua seemed to me cither a fabuious stoiy or marvellous cure The s-tory was that of a poor sufferer who had not been able to He down m bed for six long year*, given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine, t was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrybtyd was familiar with ihe fact?, and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow m travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the vilbge of Lianrystyd to call upon the V ; car, the Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about 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 be n familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoice 1 m what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar rornarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from h's having mentioned the cose t) Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a res : der> 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, f« liiig that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted m mind, body, or estate. • *■ On my return to Aberystwith, I was irn? pressed with a desire to see Mr Puph, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom-Mf wr, signifying " above the dingle," situated near the summit of a smooth lound hill overlooking a beauti ul valley m which is sHuated the lovely ivy-mant'ed Church of Llanddcinol. I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, c( 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 had 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, wjth 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 WaKs, I but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ngo, he paid, I first becam conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could keep m my stomach seemed to do me no good and was p.ftp n rt'F9. w n U P W H! I Painful retchings. This was followed after a time with hoarseness and a raw soreness of the throat, which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Then eamc shortness of breath and a sense of suffo cation, especially nights with clammy sweat and I would have to get out of bed, an sometimes open a door or window m v>int wenther to fill my Jungs 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 expand ' and collapse, and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was r duced ni strength so that I could perform no hard labor, and my spir ts were consequently much dppresse,], Early m this last spring T had a still more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbors 1,-cc-ime alarmed, believing th°t ccr, tainly I would notsiuvive, wlkm a neighbor! who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Abcrystwi'h by the dnver of the Omnibus Post, some seven mile^ distant and fetched a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This medicine they administered to, nip according to the directions, when to th.ejy i urpniic and deligfit no Ices th,nn my own, t^c Spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, anl I felt a sense of quiet comfort nil through such ps I had not before realised m many years. I cnild walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after I 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<? liave not since had a recurrence of thore tcriiblc spasms and sweatings. I have been so long broken do^vn aqd reduced, m my w^qlc sys(eir» that J have not tried to perform any very hard out? door labor, 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 stomach ond bowels have been and arc being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man. I have been much congratulated by my neighbors, especially by the good Vicar of Lianrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. 1 bade Mr Pugh goodbye, 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, F ,T.W,
