GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BSD. Mr. Editor.— TO!e spending a few days at the pleasant gdtside town of Aberystwith, Car#g^f3hi/o,|Wales, I heard related what see/pd t f AeJither a fabulous story or a maiwalloilsicu The jjSpmp;pv/s top a poor sufferer who had normeen dole talie down in bed for six long years, gftren Jp to die by all doctors, had been aaseclily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance as was said, that tho Vicar of the Lianryatyd was familiar with the facts and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow iu travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llanrystyd to call on the Vicar, the Rev, T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife most graciously entertained me in an half hour’s conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take a deep and sympathetic interest, having been familiar with his Bufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most remarkable cure. The Vicar remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanoo. Ha said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, ibut was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched JJr. Wm. Pugh’s character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was one w bo. truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, 1 was impressed with a desire to sea Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood so high, His fai m is called Rancom-Mawr signifying “above the dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated tho lonely ivymantled Church of Llanddeinol. I found Mr Pugh apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I 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 in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his ncighoours had taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in his case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in my condition. What you report as having heard abroad, said ho, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as auy in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen years ago, hs said, I first became conscious of a sour a id denngod stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to do me no good and was often thrown up with pamf il retchings. This was followed after a time with a hoarseness and raw soreness of tho throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, , and I was treated for that but with lit do success. Then, came shortness of breath 1 and a of suffocation, especially nights with a clammy sweat and I would have to open a door or window in winter weather I to till my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that • I could not sleep in bed, but had to lake

my unquiet rest and dreamy Bleep sitting in an arm chair my affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into ray lungs and throat. In the violent cou hiug spasms which grew more frequent, abdo nen would expand an 1 collapse and at times it would seam that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that I eou.d perform no hard labour and ray spirits were consa quently much depressed. Karly in this last spring I hat a sti'l more severe spasmodic attack, ami my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, whjii a neighbour, who had some knowle Igo, or had heard of the medicine, sent.to Aborystwith by the driver of tho Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant, and fetched a buttle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. ihis 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 scomaeh was calmed. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as 1 had not before realised ia many’years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I have continued to Take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and.l can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have been,so long broken down and reduced in my whole system that I have not tried to perform any very h-ard outdoor labour, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over«exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fudy restored. I feel that my stomach aud bowels have bean and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine, la fact d feel like a new man.

1 have beau mack congratulated by my neighuours, especially by the good 'Vicar of Llanrystyd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of j >y on my recovery.

1 bade Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least amen.; thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should be known to the public, t beg to submit the above facts as they are related to me.
