GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT

GOING TO BBU. / Mr. Editor.— days at t.’uo pleasant asa.’niel&fv/ with, related Tvh.it s.vir.i 1. 1 to lia.attipfy fabulous story or a I.;uvollous ctive. •• * '7 T!io story was’thats-U mor sufferer who bad not bs-n able to lio down ia bed for six long yearn, given rrp to die by all doctors, bad been speedily cured by soma Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circmnstnieo as wan said, that the Vicar of the Lianryatyd was familiar wish the facts and could vouch for the truth of the report. iJ.avibg a little .cariosity to know how suck stories grow in Ira wiling, I took the liberty while at the village of Lknrystyd to _ csll on the Vicar, the Rev, T. Evans, and about this wonderful cure.

Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wife moat graciously entertained me in an half hour’s conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pngh, in which they seemed to take a deep and. sympathetio interest, having been familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a moat 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 Llanon. He said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llanddeinol. He strongly vouched Mr. 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 peop!e, fpeling that he was one who truly sympathised with all who are afflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, 1 was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, nhoso reputation stood so high. His iaim is called Pancora-Mawr signifying " above the dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the 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 bis own lips, what there was of truth in the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours bad taken a kindly and sympathetic interest in ins 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 he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was over eiven up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts. as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of thoira ever bronuht the desired relief.

Fifteen years ago, he said, I first became conscious of a soar and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold in my stomach seemed to do me uo good and was often thrown up with painful retchings. This was followed after a time with a hoarseness and raw soreness of the throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that but with litdo success. Then came shortness of breath and a sense of suffocation, especially nights with a clammy sweat and I would have to open a dcor or window in winter weather to fill my lungs with the cold air. About six years ago I became so bad that 1 could not sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an arm chair my affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the violent coughing spasms which grew more frequent, abdomen would expand and collapse and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was reduced in strength so that 1 could perform no hard labour and my spirits were cense queutly much depressed. Early in this last spring I Lad a slid more severe spasmodic attack, and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly I would not survive, when a neighbour, who had soma knowledge, or had hoard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwith by the driver of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles distant, and fetched a bcttle of Mother Saigel’a Curative Syrup. ibis 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 calmel. My bowels were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and 1 felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as 1 had not before realised in many years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably in a few hours after I had taken the medicine. 1 have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I 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 havo not tried to perform any very hard outdoor labour, 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 and bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed by the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man.

1 have bean much congratulated by my neighbours,especially by the good Vicar of Llanryst-yd, who with his sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of joy on my recovery. 1 bade Mr Pugh goodbye, bappy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease.

Believing this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should ba known to the public, C beg to submit the above facts as they are related to me.
